A busy stretch of the M2 will see regular overnight closures this week as part of ongoing bridge works, while maintenance will also take place on the M20 and M25. National Highways is currently completing repairs at two bridges along the M2 between Junction 5, for Stockbury, Sheppey and Sittingbourne, and Junction 7 for Faversham.

Overnight closures will take place along this stretch of the motorway weeknights from 8pm to 6am. This will then be followed by a full weekend closure of the M2 westbound from Junction 7 to 5 taking place between 8pm on Friday, September 27 and 6am on Monday, September 30.

Westbound traffic will be diverted via the A2 to the A20, then onto the M20 at Junction 7 to reach the A249 before returning to the M2 at Junction 5. Drivers are advised also that there are utility works taking place on the A251 in September and are therefore urged to avoid this route.
