Hi guys

I'm setting off to france Friday night and getting the 02.25 DFDS ferry to Calais on Saturday morning.
Does anyone know what the M20 and port itself is like at the moment?

I'd just like to know if I need to allow any additional time to ensure I don't encounter any major delays and the risk of missing the ferry!

Thanks in advance

Pete 👍🏻👍🏻

If you Google traffic cameras in Kent you can see for yourself 👍

M20 is fine mate.

Always allow for delays. Better to be an hour early than 10 minutes late.

Hi, what's the situation now at Dover?
Are they returning to something like ❓
Are there still delays or moving you to other ferry companies?

Been checking M20 this morning and doesnt seem to be too bad. Use the route planner below and tick the Traffic Alerts box.

Im out Saturday morning. Got a 90 minute drive and then the usual queues at Dover Port. Ferry is at 05:50 but probably going to leave mine around 01:00. Can always have a kip in the car waiting for departure.

We are off to Jurassica 2. Great place. Nice little 2 hour drive from Calais.

Been trying to find an iOS traffic app, TimesUpp seems to be quite good for a free one.

ViaMichelin gives you a price breakdown for tolls and traffic flows

Anyone heading out of Dover today I would advise to leave even earlier. It is chaos there at the moment with holiday makers and Liverpool supporters. 3 hours queuing to get on a ferry. My crossing is 5.50 tomorrow morning and I am setting out from Epsom at midnight. M20 looks ok tho.

No delays

Went out last Sat morning and came back today on ferry, no problems at all.
