![M2 Still Remains Closed Due To "Sink Hole"](https://www.sfmradio.com/sites/default/files/styles/main_article_image_590_290/public/field/image/M2%20Latest_0.png?itok=k_BgQWDR)
The 15 metre deep sink hole, that has shut the M2 between junctions 5 (Sittingbourne) and 6 (Faversham/Ashford) for the last 24 hours, is still causing traffic chaos this afternoon.
The Highways Agency has advised that they are hoping to have one lane either side open for tomorrow but there are no guarantees as urgent safety investigations continue.
Drivers heading to and from Dover are still advised to use the M20 instead.
The hole, between junctions 5 and 6, measures approximately 5 metres by 2 metres and 15 metres deep.
A clearly signed diversion is still in place via the A249, the M20, the A20, the A252, and the A251 - using the solid black circle route coast-bound and the solid black square route London-bound.
