Thank you for your report concerning the barrier repairs. We do appreciate the impact the roadworks on the A20 may have on the local community. The essential safety repairs were for a damaged parapet on the westbound carriageway outside the tunnel. Our works were being carried out under a lane one closure through the length of the tunnel to assist with these repairs. This provided a safe working environment for our crews whilst keeping traffic flowing without the requirement for full road closures and diversions. A temporary safety fence had to remain in place whilst parapet parts were specially designed and made for the bespoke system on site. If you require any further update on this issue our Customer Contact Centre is available 24 hours a day at:
