Chaos on the Roads: Emergency Services Tackle Incident on M2

Kent Police and emergency crews are currently at the scene of a major incident on the M2. National Highways Traffic Officers have joined the effort, managing the snarled-up traffic backups.

Follow the Diversion Signs – Don’t Get Stuck!

If you’re heading westbound towards London, leave the M2 at Junction 6. From there, follow the solid square diversion signs:

  • Take the A251 southbound towards the A252 in Challock.
  • At the roundabout on the A252, exit westbound toward Charing.
  • Join the A20 westbound toward Maidstone and continue to Junction 8 of the M20.

How to Get Back on Track

  • At the M20 roundabout, follow signs for Junction 7 westbound, heading for London.
  • Exit at Junction 7, then merge onto the A249 towards M2 Junction 5.
  • At Junction 5, rejoin the M2 and carry on your journey.

Plan Ahead to Avoid Delays

This closure is causing major disruption. If your route is affected, allow extra travel time or consider altering your plans altogether. A delay now beats being stuck in traffic later.
