It has stages that can be deployed sequentially, scaling up or down to meet demand. In addition to the M20 contraflow, lorries can be routed to Manston Airfield and, if needed, the M26 motorway can be closed and used to queue HGVs too. The operation is an interim measure which was successfully deployed in March 2019, and crucially keeps the M20 open in both directions using a contraflow system. Who should read this guide Haulage operators, drivers and traders involved in the movement of goods using heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) with an operating weight of more than 7.5 tonnes - approaching Eurotunnel and the Port of Dover during periods of disruption to cross-channel travel.
