Kent Thameside benefits from an excellent road network that links with the rest of the UK and Continental Europe via the Channel Tunnel through the Eurotunnel and via The Port of Dover.
A recently completed £122 million road widening project provides significant improvements on the Bean to Cobham stretch of the A2. Kent Thameside will benefit directly from this increased accessibility. View the Transport Map
- Two motorways (M2, M25) with two further motorways close by in Kent (M20, M26).

- The UK road freight industry is one of the most liberalised, deregulated and safest in the world.
