Holidaymakers have been warned to expect more lengthy delays if they are trying to cross the Channel next weekend, one of the busiest weekends of the year. Toby Howe, senior highways manager at Kent County Council and tactical lead at the Kent Resilience Forum, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that Folkstone and Dover roads are “all looking good this morning” and the motorways are running freely, but he issued a warning for the days ahead.
“We do have some lorries queueing outside Dover for the Port of Dover but that’s normal for a Monday morning but through traffic is able to travel as normal,” he said. “The town of Dover is free-running and yes, all the roads around are running free.”
However, Mr Howe then warned that next weekend is likely to be “very busy”. “It’s the second busiest getaway weekend of the summer holidays,” he said.
