The road was closed for most of the day following an incident earlier around 11.25am - when police made tactical contact with a vehicle.

Police
An Army bomb squad has been scrambled and a motorway closed after police carried out a “tactical stop” on a driver.
Officers attempted to stop the driver on the coastbound M20 in Kent, near to junction 12.
The driver failed to stop and left the motorway before returning to the London-bound carriageway, forcing police to take action to halt the car.
A Kent Police spokesman said: “It was pursued to junction 9 where a police car made tactical contact with the vehicle, bringing it to a stop with no injuries reported.”
Update – The M20 remains closed in both directions between J8-9 following the earlier arrest of a man. Explosives experts from the @BritishArmy are also present as a precautionary measure following concerns about the security of the subject vehicle. https://t.co/sRYnVI7xzo
