Pictures show the machinery completed turned on its side, with workers setting up cones to divert traffic.
One driver said on a local Facebook group that there was no way through Lower Road from Cowstead Corner.
Those heading to Eastchurch and Leysdown were being asked to find alternative routes.
A spokesman from the police said: “We were called at 9.54am after a digger had fallen from a trailer being towed on the A249 Queenborough Road, Minster-on-Sea.
“Patrols attended the scene to assist highways officers until the digger was recovered.”
