Resurfacing in Farningham and Crockenhill this week

Darent Valley is benefiting from three projects as part of KCC.s £6 million extra spending on road resurfacing across the County (see posts of 23 February and of 6 November last year): White Post Hill and Beesfield Lane in Farningham, and Stones Cross Road in Crockenhill. There has already been preliminary patching work done to prepare some of these sites for resurfacing, and the main work is now due to go ahead.

All three will be treated with two layers of micro-asphalt, which should improve the surface, increase skid resistance and keep water out. The finished surface will may look rough to start with, but should have a much smoother look after 4 to 6 weeks of bedding in.

The works on White Post Hill will take place on Wednesday 13 March for one day; the road closure will be between 1 and 6 PM to accommodate the surgery. Those on Beesfield Lane will also start on the 13th and will take 3 days. Stones Cross Road will start on Tuesday 12th and last for 2 days.
