Speed reduced to 90 km/h on the viaducts of the A16 motorway in the Boulonnais, delay of up to 2 hours for the ferries connecting Dunkirk to Dover… the North, the Pas-de-Calais and the Somme are placed under yellow supervision strong winds.
Blow, and strong. In the early morning of Thursday 29 December 2022, strong winds crossed the north, the Pas-de-Calais and the Somme. The Opal Coast coast recorded gusts of up to 100 km/h.
Météo France has therefore placed these three departments on yellow alert. The winds should decrease in the late morning in the North and on the Somme, while caution remains in order in the Pas-de-Calais until late afternoon.
Consequence for motorists: speed is limited to 90 km/h on the three viaducts of the A16 motorway, between junctions n° 28 and 29. The viaducts of Quéhen, Herquelingue and Echinghen, located 5 kilometers south of Boulogne -sur -Wed, they concern.
The other impact relates to the ferries making cross-Channel connections. Therefore, the DFDS company announces that delays of up to 2 hours are expected to reach Dover from Dunkirk.
