A strike of French customs officers paralises ports – long traffic jams in Calais
The queue of lorries stretches from the tunnel past the ring road leading to the port of Calais at Marck.
The most affected route is A16 in Calais. Lorries are stuck in huge traffic jams and the situation that has existed for over a month is getting worse day by day. Lorries are ‘stacked’ on the right lane or on the hard shoulder, depending on the location, in order to enable traffic of other vehicles.
In Dunkirk, the situation is not much better. Each day, for over a month, lorry drivers have had to cope with delays and traffic jams. The bottleneck slows down traffic at the junction of A16 and A25, at Grande-Synthe in the direction of Calais.
