Heavy lifting gear was placed at the side of the road to be ready to quickly deal with broken down vehicles and, working with other agencies, Kent Police officers were deployed to key routes to help to manage traffic and quickly eliminate breakdowns.

“As always, KRF’s partners have responded, working closely with the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel, to help keep Kent moving as smoothly as possible, allowing our residents to go about their daily business as uninterrupted as possible, and making sure everyone travels safely. to their destination.
