Dangerous bumps along a 1 mile stretch of A2
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3623844.
The bumps are severe enough to cause drivers to lose control when travelling within the speed limit. The danger is evident with tyre marks along this stretch of A2 as vehicles pass over the bumps. There are no warnings or speed restrictions in place. There have also been a number of accidents caused by the road surface. This has been an issue now for several years

Thank you for contacting National Highways about road surface on the A2 carriageway between Canterbury and Bridge.
Thank you for taking the time to get in touch regarding this matter. I am very sorry to hear of the impact of poor road conditions and please be assured that we do understand and recognise your concerns. We’re aware of the issues of the road condition along this stretch of the A2. This stretch is currently monitoring by our safety team since August 2021.
Recognising this issue, I can advise that a major scheme is currently under development which will involve full levelling and resurfacing between Nackington and Bridge, with anticipated construction in this financial year 2022/2023.
In the meantime, we’ll continue to review weekly when any safety issues will be raised for urgent mitigation.
Kind regards
National Highways
