Overview

This is an example activity for demonstration purposes only. This site is operated by Delib Ltd and submitted responses will be discarded.

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. 

What happens next

We are consulting on our healthy route network alongside the Local Plan Review (our spatial plan that guides development in the borough) and our new Transport Strategy. 

This is a first stage consultation and we will consider all the comments received and review our policies accordingly. The healthy routes network will be incorporated into the Transport Strategy which will be referenced by the adopted Local Plan. There will be a further consultation on these two policy documents in Summer 2022.
