Dozens of lorries took part in a rehearsal scheduled by the British government on Monday morning to test potential traffic congestion near the channel crossing in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
The rehearsal trialled Manston airfield in Kent as a holding facility for HGVs, before trialling the 20-mile route from the airfield to the Port of Dover to calculate ways to alleviate congestion caused by potential cross-Channel disruption.
Some experts have warned of 20-mile-long queues clogging motorways near the channel tunnel after the UK leaves the EU in March.
