The A249 at Danaway.

The A249 is a road in Kent, England, running from Maidstone to Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey. It mainly functions as a link between the M2 and M20 motorways, and for goods vehicle traffic to the port at Sheerness.

In 2006, an upgraded dual carriageway section opened between Iwade and Queenborough, include a new fixed crossing over the Swale. The existing lifting Kingsferry Bridge has been retained as an alternative route.
