hope this is of help for those that will be going through Rouen in a few days time, it is the route that I use, and is the route that is used in the CA Guide, the maps come from the via michelin website.

FS,
I know there was a posting earlier for a fast track through the piage on the autoroute, I can't remember where it was. 2 hours queueing up!
But with all recent goings-on taken into consideration, I am thinking of avoiding that, is the main piage north or south of Rouen?

The main problem last year was the return leg with the queue around the junction of the A28 with the A13 - at the bottom of the the last map above. The "solution" (which could turn out to be just another traffic jam!) suggested was to exit from the A28 earlier - south of what is shown on the bottom map - and approach Rouen on the old N138.
However this is route is just as likely to get jammed! I've been in similar situations before - Hit queue on M6 north of B'ham. Off on to the A34. Hit queue. Off on to some B road. Hit queue. Off on to side road .... etc etc... Before you know it you driving down a farm lane with grass down the middle! Which then crosses over the motorway on a bridge. Only for you to look down and see a free flowing motorway. Tomtom makes it too easy to get into this pickle.
However - I encourage everyone to turn off the A28 (and I'll stay on it and fly through the peages >:D )

What time was the queue at the péage?
I don't need to be in Dieppe until 23:30 Sunday night, so aiming to leave the campsite around 19:00/20:00
Should I use J13 of the A28 at Malleville & detour off to the west?
Thx

On the first map we have always turned off at junction 8 just over the river in Rouen and followed the D18e which has always seemd fine to us, traffic wise and also straight forward

I agree, the 'eastern route' D18e (for me at least) has always been relatively traffic free and hard to get lost or go wrong.

news on a lorry fire on one of the bridges in Rouen this morning

What are the chances the heat would damage the bridge and if so would it be fixed in time for June? it's the N28 bridge :o
