Changes to the road layout and the way traffic uses the junction
After more than 4 months, National Highways eventually reopened the coastbound slip roads on Monday morning, the 30th of January, but with some changes to the road layout and the way traffic uses the junction.
Vehicles accessing the A249 northbound (towards Sittingbourne) from the M2 coastbound off slip will need to use lane 1 of the slip and use the new segregated lane onto the northbound carriageway.
Vehicles travelling northbound on the A249 towards Stockbury roundabout will need to be in lane 1 to access the M2 coastbound on the slip, as this lane is now for the slip road only. All other A249 northbound traffic, including those heading towards Sittingbourne, must be in lane 2 on the approach to the roundabout.
Further information
National Highways is continuing with their weekend closures of the A249 - the full details of these will be shown on the project webpage >> https://bit.ly/3Ro4EFC
