Great piece of historic film, thanks for putting this together and posting!

Great thanks for the upload. The bridge and road were a revelation as no-one had seen anything so modern back then .

A Motorway bridge that allows pedestrians to walk across on a walkway. Part of the Pilgrims way walk.

I lived just down the road from the Strood side and later up and down it as an AA patrol

If my memory serves me right the M2 was opened in 1957 by Earnest Marples, the M of T.

[@MrJaybee001]

I stand corrected. my mind is playing tricks.

Marples Must Go. Showing my age in that I can remember that protest slogan

Didn't realise the Medway bridge was so old

When they cut down the trees they gave the wood to schools for woodwork. Wouldn't happen now.

Its an awful motorway these days. A road from London to nowhere particularly interesting.
