Comments 08:44 Adam McGroarty

The access from Oad Street to the A249 will be open as usual.

In the run up to and over the weekend of Friday 17 February, we'll be working slightly differently using a combination of lane closures and full closures, as Kent County Council are also carrying out some works. If we carry out the work when its too cold, the surface quickly freezes, becomes brittle and could crack, meaning wed need to return and resurface the slips again, causing further disruption. Thank you to everyone for their engagement and contribution in the development of the scheme to date.

A lengthy stretch of the M2 is set to close for the entirety of this coming weekend while highways engineers carry out bridge maintenance work. For the best experience please use a JavaScript enabled browser.

There would no longer be a need for a U-turn facility due to the provision of the link from South Green Lane to Oad Street and the Stockbury Roundabout. Details of these closures will be made available here once confirmed.

Local motorists are being warned that the M2 will be closed both ways between Junction 5 (Sittingbourne) and Junction 6 (Faversham) junctions during this weekend.
