Congestion is expected to peak between 11am and 3pm on Friday and Saturday.
Drivers in the region are being warned to expect severe congestion, with the AA issuing its first “amber traffic warning” for Friday and Saturday.This is due to a combination of the first switchover days for holiday lets during the school summer holidays in England and Wales, a rail strike, the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and the start of the Football League season in England.
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy for the AA, said: “With holiday let switchover day starting on Friday mixed with train strikes and a huge weekend of sport, we are concerned that drivers will experience delays across the network, with the south of England particularly vulnerable. “Spending 10 minutes checking tyres and fluid levels before setting off can make a big difference in helping people getting to their destination.”
“Drivers using these routes, as well as those through Kent that may be affected by traffic destined for the port at Dover, should prepare for a longer trip and not rely on the first estimated time of arrival given by their sat-navs.Tens of thousands of families saw the start of their cross-Channel journeys ruined last weekend as the roads approaching Dover were gridlocked, leading to delays of several hours.
