Scuffles have broken out at Dover as stranded lorry drivers clashed with police.
Several thousand lorries have been stuck near the Kent port after France stopped them crossing the Channel due to the new variant of coronavirus.
The drivers have been lined up on the motorway and at nearby Manston airfield after the French decision on Sunday night.
UK and French governments have now reached a deal to reopen the border to hauliers and some passengers from Wednesday - if they test negative for COVID.
The military and NHS Test and Trace teams are to use quick turnaround tests on the waiting drivers, who come from all around Europe.
The time it will take to clear the backlog is unclear, but Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has said it will "take a few days".
Drivers gathered at the port began booing and whistling masked police just after 8am this morning, before a small group started pushing officers as others filmed on their phones.
