A249 Northbound set for nightly shutdowns as Stockbury flyover nears launch
Overnight closures kick off tonight
From tonight onwards, the A249 northbound between Stockbury and Key Street roundabouts will be closed overnight. The shutdown runs daily from 8pm to 5am as crews complete final works on the new Stockbury flyover. This key upgrade is part of wider improvements at M2 junction 5, designed to ease traffic jams and boost safety.
Drivers warned to expect delays
Travellers using this stretch of road during the closure hours are urged to follow official diversion routes and plan extra travel time. Motorists ignoring these warnings risk frustrating hold-ups and delays. Authorities stress the importance of obeying diversions to keep everyone safe on the roads.
Flyover promises smoother journeys
The Stockbury flyover aims to dramatically improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in a notoriously busy area. As work wraps up, these overnight closures are crucial to ensure the new flyover opens smoothly without disruptions.
Stay updated and drive safe
Road users should stay informed about potential changes or updates on the closures. Compliance with diversion signs will help minimise disruption and protect all drivers. The new flyover is expected to be a game-changer for commuters once it goes live.
