The End Is Nigh

Progress sometimes can be quite a slow thing. Since 2021 progress on the A249 Stockbury Roundabout has been sloth-like seemingly, but at last real progress is rearing its head!

Two new slip roads have been created, one for vehicles heading from the Maidstone-bound A249 to the London-bound M2 and another from the Sheppey-bound A249 to the M2 coastbound.

The junction has one of the highest collision rates in the country and it is predicted the changes will reduce accidents by around a third.

One lane, heading Maidstone-bound, will open tomorrow (Thursday). Then a lane in the Sittingbourne-bound direction will be opened on Friday (July 12).

The full opening of all the flyover lanes is expected at a later date after more overnight work.
