9:49Now PlayingThe M20 coastbound road between Junctions 8 and 9 is being closed due to "enhanced port security checks", Kent Police have announced.
While the force did not directly link the measures to the hunt for Daniel Abed Khalife, the announcement follows an earlier statement from the Met Police's counter-terror department - which said it had issued an alert about the suspect's escape to "enforcement agencies, including those at UK ports and borders".
This closure will let all the cargo headed for the continent line up on the empty stretch of the motorway, helping to avoid major traffic disruption across Kent.
For now, all the trucks heading to the EU need to stick to the M20, while everyone else should follow the detour signs.
