Major improvements are underway at the M2 junction 5 in Kent, aiming to enhance slip roads and junction approaches. This significant project, initiated in autumn 2021, is expected to continue until 2025 and carries an estimated cost ranging between £50 million and £100 million.
The focus of these improvements is on enhancing the Church Hill crossover, which has recently been opened for southbound A249 traffic to access Stockbury. However, it’s important to note that the current usage of the crossover does not permit traffic to perform U-turns to join the northbound A249. Drivers are encouraged to proceed on the southbound carriageway to the next suitable turning location.
