There are heavy delays on the M2 and the A2 following collisions.

Motorists in the county are being urged to find alternative routes.

Those travelling on the M2 are facing severe delays after a van came off the motorway.

The route was shut London-bound from Junction 6 for Faversham to Junction 5 for Sittingbourne and the Stockbury Roundabout.

Motorists are facing heavy delays in the area as recovery work takes place with the incident having a knock-on effect further down the motorway.

There is congestion to Junction 7 at the Brenley Corner and the A2 Boughton Bypass as it approaches the Junction 7 roundabout and traffic is also slow on London Road towards Faversham.

It has since reopened.

The A2 was also shut London-bound between the A2050 near Canterbury and Junction 7 of the M2 due to a multi-vehicle collision.

A spokesperson for police said they were called just after 3pm to reports of a collision involving three cars.

Just before 5:30pm they said: “Officers are currently at the scene and the carriageway is currently closed.

“Drivers are advised to expect delays in the area.”
