M20 in kent closed after footbridge collapse

[paul&debra]

A lorry has hit a bridge on the M20 causing it to collapse into the M20, which is now closed in both directions. Traffic chaos for anyone heading for the channel ports, likely to be closed for a few days.

Is 3.6.2017 safe or do we need to panic

Don't panic Mr mannering

Even our useless government should have the road open by then. I was only posting for anyone heading out in next couple of days.
