M20: Large Goods Vehicles
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have considered upgrading the M20 or the A2/M2 as an alternative to the establishment of a permanent lorry area near Junction 11 of the M20.
- Answer
-
Highways England carried out an assessment of alternative options for a solution to Operation Stack and this considered increasing the overall capacity and resilience of Kent’s motorway network. The alternatives were included in a public consultation held between December 2015 and January 2016.
Overall, a lorry area was the best performing option and this was stated in the report on the consultation which can be found at:
