Latest Traffic News
All the latest traffic information in France & around the Channel ports
France's 'confinement' has ended but there is still a 7pm to 6am curfew, hence traffic levels in June will still be relatively low on French roads (especially at night). There are in fact no problem days forecast by the French traffic information agency 'Bison Futé' for this month but any traffic problems are dependant on any Covid-19 restrictions that may be introduced by the government.
Traffic problems around the Channel ports at present are as follows:
Roadworks on the N814 ring road at Caen, in both directions, lasting until 31/07/21.
The N27 south of Dieppe is closed in both directions until 31/10/21 due to ongoing roadworks.
Entry to France is subject to the constantly changing Covid19 situation, please check with French government travel restrictions as well as UK government rules regarding a future return to the UK. Also see our guide on the 'More Useful Info' page. The current ferry/ tunnel situation is as below:
Brittany Ferries have recently confirmed that two ferries will be laid up & a third will not resume crossings. Most routes are either reduced or suspended, this has the following effects:
