We have received confirmation from Defra Officials that Operation BROCK is being stood up by the DfT/Highways England from 10 July 2024.
Analysis suggests that Saturday 13 July 2024 will be the first big peak for summer getaway traffic, thereafter, most days until the end of July 2024 are flagged as RED days for heavy traffic. During August 2024, the weekends are flagged as RED days for heavy traffic.
BROCK will run from 10th July to the end of July 2024 without review. Then reviewed on a weekly basis throughout August 2024 – Realistically it is expected BROCK will be in place for 7/8 weeks.
It is intended to introduce a permit system for traffic heading to Dover for this deployment period, available only from the correct lanes, to ensure better traffic discipline.
More updates can be found here: Operation Brock – National Highways.
All enquiries/issues should be directed to the DfT/Highways England.
