The work will take around three days to complete, commencing on Wednesday 13th August 2025
between the hours of 8am and 4pm.
This type of work can be affected by bad weather, so if it is not possible for us to carry it out at this
time, we will arrange a new date and let you know via a letter drop to your home. We will also put up
signs along the road , before we start, showing the date we plan to start work.
How will we carry out the works and how it will affect you?:
The works will be undertaken using a road closure to give our contractor a safe area within which
to carry out construction. A signed diversion route will be provided as follows: Haine Road (A 256),
Hengist Way (A 299), Minster Road (B 2190), Spitfire Way (B 2190) and vice versa.

Why are we doing this work?
Kent County Council has identified the site for improvement. Works will include resurfacing , high
friction surfacing, refreshing existing road markings and amending approaching signage.

How you can help us:
We need your help to make sure the work is carried out as quickly as possible and to the best
possible quality. We want to complete the works as quickly as we can and without causing you too
much inconvenience. If your vehicle is usually parked on the carriageway, please make sure you
park it somewhere else away from the site whilst the works are carried out.
For your safety and the safety of our workforce, please drive carefully and slowly through
the roadworks.
