M2 motorway (Great Britain) : ウィキペディア英語版 | M2 motorway (Great Britain)
The M2 is a motorway in Kent, England. It is 25.7 miles (41.4 km) long and acts as a bypass of the section of the A2 road which runs through the Medway Towns, Sittingbourne and Faversham. It is the only motorway in England that does not meet any other motorway at a junction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Golden anniversary for the M2 )〕 ==Route== The M2 starts to the west of Strood at Three Crutches, diverging southeastwards from the A2 road that heads eastwards from London. It begins at Junction 1 with four lanes and descends towards the Medway Valley to the south of Rochester. Running parallel to High Speed 1, it crosses the River Medway on the Medway Viaduct. On the west bank, Junction 2, the A228, is a complex junction where the exit roundabouts had to be built round the railink track and still maintain, by footbridge and tunnel, a public footpath. On the east bank is the village of Borstal. The M2 then diverges from the High Speed 1 route and climbs up the north side of Nashenden Valley to Blue Bell Hill and on to the North Downs on a split-level carriageway and meets Junction 3 at Walderslade, south of Chatham. Here the road narrows to three lanes, and runs northeast across Cossington Fields, Westfield Sole, Lidsing, and Bredhurst towards Junction 4, where it becomes two lanes. Continuing east, passing Medway Service Station, it crosses the A249 over the Stockbury Viaduct at Junction 5. It then continues along the rural North Downs, with a connection to the old A2 at Faversham. Shortly after this, it terminates at Junction 7, allowing traffic to continue on either the A299 towards Thanet which joins a dual carriage way or the A2 towards Canterbury and Dover which has been improved due to bypasses and other improvements as far as Lydden.
