The civil engineering specialist has finished the M2 Junction 5 improvements scheme for National Highways, which began in June 2021 under the Road Investment Strategy.
Its centrepiece is the new Stockbury flyover, a nearly mile-long structure built using 1,500 bespoke Reinforced Earth RECO panels.
The two bridges supporting the flyover were built using reinforced concrete beams, each weighing up to 56 tonnes, which were installed using a 450-tonne mobile crane.
Two new slip roads now provide direct access from the A249 to the M2, bypassing the Stockbury roundabout entirely, reducing congestion.
A larger gyratory system has also been built, minus the traffic lights, alongside a link road connecting Maidstone Road and Oad Street.
The new junction provides a critical link between the Isle of Sheppey, Maidstone, and the M20 motorway, connecting Dover to London and Sheerness.
“We are proud to deliver a project that not only improves safety and connectivity for motorists, but leaves a lasting positive impact on the community,” said Dave Brown GRAHAM contracts director.
Jilwan Rahimi, National Highways PM, said: “We are grateful for everyone’s patience and understanding while carrying out this work, which will provide smoother and safer journeys for thousands of road users every day.”
