Two weeks of overnight work on the M2 began on Monday night to repair the road surface.

Resurfacing work on both carriageways of the route will take place between junctions 6 and 7, between Faversham and Brenley Corner. There will be some closures.

To limit delays, all the work will be carried out between 8pm and 6am each night.

There will be various traffic restrictions while work is taking place, including some overnight closures of the main carriageway in either direction.

When the coastbound carriageway is closed, drivers can divert onto the A251 and A2 Canterbury Road to rejoin the main road at Brenley Corner (junction 7).

When the London-bound carriageway is closed, drivers will be diverted over the same roads.

On other dates throughout the work there will be lane closures on either the eastbound or westbound M2 carriageway with hardshoulder running and a 50mph temporary speed limit in place.
