Further A225 works from 21 October

Last year we saw resurfacing work on the A225 in Eynsford,  running north from the Baptist church to the junction with Mill Lane.  The works were very welcome, though their timing - on the eve of the Kent Test - was much less so.

Kent Highways has committed to carrying out further works running north towards Farningham, from Mill Lane up to the Bessfield Lane junction. A notice has been issued and the works will start on 21 October. They will be carried out overnight (between 22:00 and 05:00), and will last for three days.  During that time there will be a road closure in the area affected, though only for the overnight period when the works are taking place; the road will remain open during the day. There may also be some disruption from the "milling" (an operation  to remove the existing road surface), and from the noise of vehicles beeping as they reverse. However, Kent Highways have pledged to seek to keep keep disruption to a minimum.

This will be a very welcome improvement to the road. Some particularly severe damage to the surface has already been dealt with through temporary patching.
