If you're travelling to watch the game at Deal on Saturday then you'll need to consider a different route.
Of all the weekends to choose, Highways England chose this coming one.
The Crows face one of their longest, if not the longest, away trips they make in the SCEFL when they travel to face Deal Town on Saturday. Many of those who will be going to play for the Crows, or support them, would normally use a bit of the M20 from Junction 4, West Malling to Junction 6, the Maidstone turn off that goes up to Bluebell Hill.
It will come as no surprise to anyone I'm sure that these works were planned to take place in the summer but due to the hot spell we were having, it was postponed due to the increased volume of traffic that was using the motorway. Unfortunately for us, now is the time, and more specifically, this weekend is the one now selected.
I would suggest you look at the link herewith as it gives you alternative routes which avoid the closed section, which is in both directions by the way. The closure takes effect from 22:00 on Friday 16th November 2018 until 6:00 on Monday 19th November 2018. The link is: https://www.kentlive.news/news/kent-news/four-mile-stretch-m20-set-2209991 and I would be prepared for some traffic congestion as drivers, including ourselves, try to find away other ways to make the long journey as bearable as possible.
