Part of a motorway bridge is to remain shut for the rest of the week after a “bounce” was detected due to “loose” fixings.
The inside two lanes of the London-bound M2 on the approach to Junction 2 for Strood and the A228 have been closed since last Tuesday (September 12).
National Highways’ decision to shut off the slip road lane and the inside lane has resulted in daily tailbacks. A 50mph temporary speed limit has also been brought in.
It had hoped repairs to the bridge joint could be made last week but now says work won’t start until the weekend, due to having to wait for specialist parts to arrive from abroad.
