Live M26 Traffic Camera — Kent's M25 to M20 Link Road

Check the live M26 traffic camera before you travel this short stretch of Kent motorway. We currently stream 1 camera feed on this route, refreshed roughly every minute, along with live route weather and any approved hazard reports.

Note: The M26 is one of the shortest and least-instrumented motorways in the UK network, so a single camera feed reflects the size of the route rather than a gap in our coverage.

About the M26 Motorway

The M26 is a short link motorway, around 10 miles long, connecting the M25 near Sevenoaks to the M20 near Wrotham in Kent. It was built to bypass Sevenoaks and ease pressure on local roads, but it's also known for a notable quirk: due to local opposition when the road was planned, the M26 doesn't have a direct slip road connection to the westbound M20 or eastbound M20 in one direction, meaning drivers heading certain ways between the two motorways have to use local roads instead of a seamless motorway-to-motorway link.

Why Check the M26 Traffic Camera Before You Travel

Live camera access lets you:

  • Check conditions on this Kent link road — useful for planning routes between the M25 and M20
  • See current weather at a glance — helpful for this stretch, which passes through open Kent countryside
  • Confirm active hazards — verify reported incidents before rerouting

What does the M26 connect?
