French fishermen have extended their blockade of ports, adding Le Havre to the protest.
Le Have will be hit from midnight, with Calais, Boulogne, Cherbourg and St Malo already under the blockade.
Two ferries sailing from Portsmouth to Le Havre will be the last to use the port before the blockade starts.
Sky News also reported that police have begun stacking lorries on the M20, closing junctions eight to eleven.
P&O to take legal action
It is not known whether the protest will last until the weekend.
Football fans travelling to Paris on Saturday for the match between England and France - as well as holidaymakers returning to the UK in time for the start of the school year will hope that a solution is reached.
British ferry company P&O Stena Line said it was taking legal action against the fishermen who are protesting over the cost of fuel.
P&O is to serve an injunction on the fisherman at a court in Boulogne – but it could be a day before it takes effect.
French taxi drivers
There are blockades at almost all French Channel coast ports - Western ports were blocked by land as well, when French taxi drivers joined in the protest in support of cheaper fuel.
Every Gatso camera in Britain could be painted bright orange following a pilot scheme in Plymouth - giving you a vital few extra seconds to spot them and save your licence.
These colours spell danger
ACPO, the Association of Chief Police Officers, says it will advise every force in the country to go dayglo if figures show high-visibility cameras lead to lower speeds than anonymous grey boxes.
The Plymouth trial has been running for just 10 weeks on the A3064 near Wolseley - a notorious accident blackspot - but the average speed of motorists has already dropped from 34mph to 30mph - the speed limit on the stretch.
Traffic chiefs at Plymouth City Council, who came up with the idea, are so pleased with the results they plan to paint the authority's 26 other cameras after the six-month trial in December.
Their findings - which could also show a fall in the number of accidents - will appear in a consultation paper which will be sent to every council in Britain.
Painting the camera cost just £250 - a bargain, according to IAM chief examiner Trevor Poxon. He said: "It's a cheap and effective way of reducing speeds and increasing safety. Taxpayers can't grumble about the cost."
An ACPO spokesman said: "We will encourage the scheme nationally if the trial does show a reduction in speed."
The DETR also said it was interested.

BMW are to adopt 'Bluetooth' technology in their cars to connect their in car systems in a wireless manner.
With this technology, BMW Group intends to make the automobile into a mobile information platform. The installation of a Bluetooth chip allows simple connections to be made from navigation systems, audio systems and car telephones to other consumer appliances such as laptops, mobile phones and organisers. One of the great benefits is the independence from any particular manufacturer. "The lifetime of an automobile is much longer than that of a digital appliance," says Burkhard Göschel, Development Director of the Group. "With the Bluetooth standard, the customer can buy a new piece of equipment at any time and use it in his car without any additional installations."
The idea for this technological miracle was created in 1994 by the Swedish company Ericsson Mobile Communications.
The name of Bluetooth was chosen by the inventors of this cable-free technology in order to honour one of their ancestors: the Viking King Harald Blåtand dedicated himself to the unity of the Scandinavian peoples in the 10th century. The unity of a cable-free network thus commemorates his achievements. In fact, the word
"Blåtand" does not mean "blue tooth" at all, but "dark-skinned, tall man". Draw your own conclusions!
The first Bluetooth equipped cars will roll off the production line in a couple of years.
