M2 weekend closures

Work is being carried out on the bridges that carry Stuppington Road, Wells Lane and Hunt Kennels over the M2 between junctions 5 and 6. The expansion joints are being replaced, and will be waterproofed and resurfaced. This work will improve safety on these bridges.

The M2 eastbound will be closed on Friday 13 May 8pm until Monday 16 May at 6am between junctions 5 and 6. Then the same stretch again will be closed on Friday 20 May at 8pm until Monday 23 May 6am.

All traffic will be diverted south down the A249 to the M20 then on to the A20, A2E and back to the M2 at Junction 6 where the diversion ends.
