There is continued disruption on the roads around Boulogne, Calais and Dunkerque caused by French fishermen and this is resulting in backlogs on the A16 motorway leading to Calais. The roundabout junction from the A16 to Calais is also being disrupted.
Currently tourist traffic is getting through in both directions and it appears that only freight traffic is being delayed at present.

Continued action by French Fisherman striking in regard to the recent high increases in diesel costs have vowed to continue their strike for a further 48 hours.
This has had a direct impact on ferry travellers to and from France via the main cross channel ferry ports and now French fisherman are now blockading the G1 roundabout at Calais (the A16/Calais port junction) and this combined with the blockade of the A16 near Dunkerque is resulting in very little traffic getting into Calais.
