The M20 eastbound between Junction eight and Junction nine was closed with diversion routes in operation.
National Highways said it was because of a “@kent_police led incident”.
They added: “There is approx. 1 mile of congestion on approach.”
Another update said traffic is also being held on the westbound carriageway.
Reports on Kent Online claimed a big dog ran onto the busy road shortly before 7pm.
One driver said motorists from a truck, van and car worked together to help the animal.
They told the outlet: “It was sat in the lane and they had blocked off another lane around it causing traffic to go down to one lane.
“A man was directing cars past while a woman stood with the dog.”
