About this road

The M2 at a glance

The M2 carries north Kent traffic between the Medway Towns and Faversham, sharing Channel-bound flows with the M20 and taking signed diversions when Operation Brock is active. The Medway Bridge and the A2 handovers at each end shape its congestion. Live incidents and closures refresh every 5 minutes.
