Number | Route | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
A2 | London (Great Dover Street) - Dartford - Rochester - Chatham - Canterbury - Dover | Proposed to run along Rochester Way and Welling Way (then under construction) before rejoining Watling Street and going through the centre of Dartford. It then ran along a proposed route of Watling Street to Strood (at the time undergoing a major upgrade to bypass Gravesend), partially on the route of the B2009. In Canterbury it TOTSOed with the then B2042 north of St Dunstan's Gate and ran through the High Street and New Dover Road. In Dover it ran via Lydden and Buckland before heading west on the seafront to terminate at the Western Docks. | |
