National Highways’ M2 junction 5 project reached a significant milestone as the new flyover on the A249 in Kent welcomed the first vehicles today.
The M2 junction 5 improvements will transform this important junction, one of the busiest in the region with large queues and heavy congestion. The flyover, which passes over the Stockbury Roundabout, will allow traffic to flow without restrictions, reducing delays and improving safety.
The work was finished ahead of the summer holidays, ensuring smoother journeys through the area. To mark the milestone, some local residents were the first to use the flyover, joined by National Highways’
Executive Director of Major Projects, Nicola Bell, and Project Manager, Daniel Rollinson.
Said Rollinson: “We are pleased to celebrate this significant milestone on the M2J5 improvement scheme, as the first members of the public cross this new flyover today.”
“I want to thank everyone that has helped us get to this point as we make these essential upgrades that will allow for quicker, smoother, and safer journeys. There are still works to be done which will require closures as we work towards completion this winter and I thank the public for ongoing patience.”
