M2 Westbound Shutdown in Kent After Major Police Incident – Drivers Urged to Follow Crucial Diversion Route

M2 Westbound Shut After Police Incident in Kent

Kent drivers are in for a nightmare. The M2 westbound is CLOSED between Junction 3 (Blue Bell Hill) and Junction 2 near Rochester due to a police-led incident. Details remain scarce, but emergency services are swarming the scene.

Emergency Crews Tackle Situation

Kent Police and National Highways Traffic Officers are on-site managing the chaos. They’re working hard to keep motorists safe and get traffic moving again as soon as possible.

Follow This Diversion or Face Delays

A solid square diversion is in place. Here’s the route drivers MUST take:

1. Exit M2 westbound at Junction 3, heading south on the A229 towards Maidstone.
2. Stay on A229 to the M20 Junction 6, then join the M20 westbound.
3. Exit M20 at Junction 4 and take the third exit at the roundabout onto the A228 northbound.
4. Follow A228 north to M2 Junction 2, then rejoin the M2 westbound.

Motorists Warned to Expect Delays

Plan your journey carefully and leave extra time. If you can, avoid the M2 stretch altogether until the road reopens. The closure is causing serious knock-on delays on surrounding routes too.

The full extent of the police incident remains under wraps, but the heavy emergency presence signals a serious situation. Authorities promise further updates as the story develops.
