Update to our planned work starting Friday 11 November

There have been some changes to our planned work this weekend.

As you know, we need to do essential drainage repairs on the A2 coastbound between Bean and Ebbsfleet junctions this weekend. We're starting this work on Friday 11 November and it will run through to Tuesday 15 November.

We’ll need to close two of the three lanes of the A2 coastbound between Bean and Ebbsfleet junctions from 10pm on Friday 11 November to 6am on Monday 14 November. The lanes will be reinstated as early as possible on Monday morning.

Several more significant overnight the closures will also be required as part of the work. These are:
- Friday 11 November from 10pm to 6am, we're closing the A2 coastbound between the Bean junction and the A296, with the A2 London bound also reduced to 2 lanes
- Sunday 13 November from 8pm (traffic levels dependent) to 6am, closing the A2 coastbound between the Bean junction and the A296
- Tuesday 15 November from 10pm to 6am, closing the A2 coastbound between the Bean junction and the A296
During these closures, all coastbound traffic will be diverted off the A2 at Bean Junction along the A296 to rejoin the A2.

We appreciate there is no ideal time to undertake these works, however we’ve chosen to do this work over a weekend rather than during the week to reduce the impact of our lane closures based on available traffic data.

Any other nearby scheduled works on the A2 will be postponed.
03 November 2022

Urgent Weekend work 10pm Friday 11 November to 6am Monday 14 November 2022

Drainage repairs are needed on the A2 coastbound between Bean and Ebbsfleet junctions. These repairs need to be done as soon as practicably possible.

To do them we'll be closing two of the three lanes of the A2 coastbound between Bean and Ebbsfleet junctions from 10pm on Friday 11 November to 6am on Monday 14 November. The lanes will be reinstated as early as possible on Monday morning.

We'll also be closing two of the four lanes of the London bound carriageway between Bean and Ebbsfleet on Friday night only (10pm on 11 November until 6am on 12 November).

We’ll also be closing the A2 coastbound between the Bean junction and the A296 overnight on Friday 11 November and Sunday 13 November, from 10pm to 6am.

Other nearby scheduled works on the A2 will be postponed.

Project information

At the Bean junction we'll make the roundabout to the north of the A2 significantly bigger, and controlled by traffic lights. The roundabout to the south of the A2 will also be made bigger while generally keeping the existing layout. There will be a new bridge over the A2 to provide extra capacity, located to the east of the existing Bean Lane bridge. This existing bridge will then be used for northbound traffic, and a new slip road constructed onto the A2 for eastbound traffic.

For Ebbsfleet junction the proposals will broadly follow the existing road layout with enlarged roundabouts controlled by traffic lights. The road between the roundabouts will be widened to a dual carriageway. The slip roads from the A2 will be retained and the slip roads to the A2 widened.

The improvements will support economic development, including jobs and housing growth as well as increase road capacity to support future growth. Journey times at both junctions will improve with increased capacity for all road users as well as better safety.

Statutory Consultation 2018

Consultation 2017

We published the Orders for the A2 Bean and Ebbsfleet junction improvements scheme under the Highways Act 1980 on 14 February 2019 and submitted both the Side Roads Order and Compulsory Purchase Order to the Secretary of State for Transport for confirmation. The associated Section 10 Line Order was published in draft by the Secretary of State for Transport.

Following objections to the Scheme proposals, a public inquiry was held in October 2019 where an independent planning inspector heard evidence from us and interested parties. The Inspectors Report (dated 6 January 2020) was completed and issued to the Secretary of State.

The initial published Orders, Environmental Statement and other supporting documentation, along with our Statement of Case and proposed modifications in connection with the October 2019 public inquiry can still be viewed within the documents area below.

If you have difficulty accessing any of the documents please contact us and we will try to supply you directly with an electronic copy.

Secretary of State Decision Letter

The Secretary of State, on 27 May 2020, confirmed with modifications both the Side Roads Order and Compulsory Purchase Order and made with modifications the Slip Roads and Roundabout Order. He subsequently issued a Decision Letter (dated 2 June 2020) with accompanying Annex to Highways England and those parties represented at the Public Inquiry.

Confirmed and Made Orders

Following issue of the Secretary of State Decision Letter and accompanying Annex as identified above, we prepared copies of the confirmed, with modifications, Side Roads Order, Compulsory Purchase Order and a copy of the made, with modifications, Slip Roads and Roundabout Order.

The Secretary of State has been unable to issue the official copies of the confirmed and made Orders and accompanying Maps due to COVID-19 restrictions currently in place. Therefore in the interim, an annotated version of the confirmed, with modifications, Side Roads Order and Compulsory Purchase Order and an annotated version of the made, with modifications, Slip Roads and Roundabout Order. The three Orders (marked in red, in line with the modifications put forward at the public inquiry and further changes included in the Decision Letter and Annex) have been prepared by us to allow continuation of the Statutory Processes.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions and the need for social distancing, it is not possible for us to deposit a physical copy of the annotated version of the Orders at a document viewing location. However they can be viewed electronically below:

The Compulsory Purchase Order Confirmation Notice is due for formal publication on 25 June 2020. This will be the start of the 6 weeks High Court Challenge period for the Compulsory Purchase Order.

General Vesting Declarations

Following publication of the Compulsory Purchase Order Confirmation Notice on 25 June 2020, we have now begun the process of compulsory acquisition of the land required to construct the scheme. The process is being undertaken through General Vesting Declaration (GVD) which will transfer the ownership of land required to Highways England.

The relevant GVD’s and their accompanying plans and copies of the Notice of Making and relevant Notices of Making for Unknown Ownership land are available to view under ‘General Vesting Declarations’ in the documents section of this page.
