Dover Tap: The Dover Traffic Access Protocol (TAP) scheme on the A20 at Aycliffe has been implemented due to heavy freight volumes. This is to prevent Port bound traffic from disrupting the local road network and the A20 through Dover town: https://t.co/9Iu3nWY4Cq
Please note that due to national IT issues with French Border processing, the Port is very busy.
We will continue to provide operational updates here.
Thank you for your patience.
⚠️ #PODover - All hauliers please be advised that TAP is in place and drivers will need to join the queue. Traffic controls are in place throughout Dover and any drivers who have not accessed Dover via TAP will be diverted back to the A20. ⚠️
