A positive picture of Dover ...

[AboutDover @AboutDover]

Brand new rules at this junction this morning. This pair are preventing any traffic from turning left to the Docks, St James Shops etc. The current loop time to Aycliffe & back to here is about 20mins. VERY frustrating for Dovorians!

Please be careful at this junction ... #Dover

.@HighwaysSEAST @KentPoliceRoads @KentPoliceDover @KentHighways We have just witnessed first incident; grey pick-up with trailer went through the lights on a false green and was hit by the white TIR!! Surely you could at least cover the problem lights to prevent another/worse!?

[use-IP @useIP]

.@KentPoliceRoads @KentHighways @KentPoliceDover Please note a u-turning "Torello" truck (red cab) has clattered the traffic lights at the Townwall Street / York Street A20 JCT and they are now facing the wrong traffic flow. Potentially dangerous! Lights at far-right below images

[BBC South East @bbcsoutheast]

Some locals in Dover say they were awoken by traffic noises at 4:30am and trips usually taking five minutes are taking over an hour because of the gridlock.

See thread; fantastic shortcut through our #Dover town - 4hrs of inch-forwards progress!! Can't blame them, it's quicker than the main routes. But a disaster for locals who just want to get on with normal life ...

[Matthias Mueller💙 🇩🇪🇬🇧🇪🇺 @MatthiasMuell15]

In Dover.
M20 was closed.
We went via M2/A2.
In Dover the usual approach along/in sight of Dover castle is completely closed to sehr via Google into Dover.
Got stuck there as some of the many lorries were blocking junctions.
Than found Alternate route via the A256 through Dover

[The Darren Keenan Show @DarrenKeenanUk]

#operationbrock #Dover here at work we have not had one customer as all lorries are blocking all the roads in Dover.

Going nowhere fast on the roads in and around #Dover this weekend ☹️

[kmfm news @kmfmnews]

A very worthy local group, doing great things with young people in #Dover
"Every little helps" 👍

[354 (Dover) Squadron @354Dover]

Please give us a share!

We really appreciate all your help and support you give the Squadron.

IMHO this particular mess is going to take a lot longer than usual to clear the queues (with P&O Ferries missing, the capacity is much reduced). Have already seen a trucker in Dunkirk say he has been waiting for more than 24hrs (with no food/water).

[Port of Dover Travel @PoD_travelnews]

The main approach roads to the Port are currently very busy. We are working with operators to get people on their way as swiftly as possible, but are asking passengers to please allow extra time for their journey. Local traffic is advised to use alternative routes where possible.

[Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps @grantshapps]

BREAKING 🚨The Insolvency Service has reviewed P&O Ferries’ actions and placed it under criminal investigation for its actions.

Peter Hebblethwaite stood before MPs and admitted to breaking the law, and his actions must now be scrutinised.

[International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) @ITFglobalunion]

Never let another jobs massacre happen in the UK again.

👇WATCH the message for UK Ministers that we projected on the cliffs of Dover.

Then write to @BorisJohnson @KwasiKwarteng & @GrantShapps and call on them to ban #FireAndRehire now:👉https://t.co/pFY8ycMZLV

DOVER <>FRANCE - PORTS UPDATE

[AboutDover @AboutDover]

With no P&O Ferries and the bad weather delays delcared by DFDS I guess this will take some time to clear.
You can keep an eye on the backlog in Townwall Street A20 to the Port of #Dover with this local traffic webcam https://t.co/75Ft3343WB

[AboutDover @AboutDover]

The A20 Townwall Street (and York Street leading to it) have been backed-up with @kent_police in attendance since early-on. IDK why TAP has failed to keep the trucks out of the town today? But locals may be best to avoid frontal areas from Castle St, Market Square, etc.
