Operation Brock 'deactivated' on M20 after Brexit delays

A no-deal Brexit plan in which one side of a motorway was reserved for lorries is to be removed after Britain's departure from the EU was delayed. Operation Brock, intended to tackle queues created by delays at the border, had been in place since 25 March. One side of the M20 was used only by HGVs heading to Dover, with all other traffic restricted to a contraflow system on the opposite carriageway. Highways England said work would begin overnight to 'deactivate' the system. The UK's departure from the EU had been set for 29 March, but has now been extended until 31 October.
