2. impose a 24-hour 50mph speed limit on the London-bound carriageways of the M20 between Junction 6 (A229) and Junction 5 (A20).

These measures are in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake bridge deck works and associated works.

carriageway or the distributor road, and by using the M2, A229, and A249. The temporary closures, speed restrictions and
diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
