Travel update for Kent-bound fans this weekend- and those leaving the county

This is the Bostik version of Sally Traffic here, with an update for this weekend.

As part of the works to upgrade the M20 to a Smart Motorway (they are turning the hard shoulder into an extra lane, not sending traffic cones to university), the motorway will be closed between junction 4 at Leybourne and 6 at Maidstone. There will be diversions in place, and the Highways Agency are advising of 'significant delays on surrounding roads.'

This may impact on:

• Burgess Hill Town fans travelling to Folkestone Invicta
• Margate fans on their way to Worthing
• Cray Wanderers fans on their way to Ashford United
• Herne Bay fans on their way to Horsham
• Whyteleafe fans on their way to Sittingbourne
• Faversham Town fans travelling to Three Bridges

The A2 may be an alternative, but it will be far busier than usual as a consequence of these works.

Moving over to the rail network, Enfield Town fans travelling to Lewes will have to contend with a bus service from Haywards Heath.

Thanks to Neil Pilcher at Folkestone Invicta for the heads up!
