A foretaste of Brexit

Coming back from France on Sunday afternoon I left the motorway at Folkestone Services to get the newspaper.  Come back out and they have closed the access to the M20!  We try to follow the diversion signs.  We go round and round the roundabouts, looking for the Black Spot - it isn't there.  
So we head west - through the B-roads of Kent by guesswork.  We pitch up in Ashford  where they are building a new junction

Apparently the motorway is closed  between junctions  9-11, closed both ways so that they can build this junction.   Well I think it is a temporary closure until 0600 on Monday morning.  A bit of a nightmare.  Kent residents might possibly be a bit miffed at having a zillion cars and lorries diverted through their villages.  Have these people never heard of the contraflow?
