Drivers are being urged to take extra care when approaching J11a of the M20 due to high levels of lorry traffic.

Motorists are being advised to take extra care when taking the coast-bound turn-off for the Channel Tunnel, as there's a high volume of lorry traffic on the motorway.

The delays are said to be caused by a number of issues, including increased security checks and the general high level of traffic.

The A20 south-bound entry slip road is closed due to restrictions brought in at J13 of the M20 for Folkestone.
