Traffic is moving again on the London-bound carriageway of the M20. Earlier it had been held by police while emergency services dealt with a vehicle fire.
The incident happened between J4 (A228 Snodland/Larkfield) and J3 (M26 Wrotham), just before 7am.
It is not thought there are any casualties, but long queues built up, which are now clearing.
