More resurfacing in Eynsford

The A225 running through Eynsford has already seen two significant road resurfacings over the last eighteen months or so: the first (in September 2014) ran from the Baptist Church in the High Street northwards to the junction with Mill Lane; the second (in October 2015) from the end point of the first works up towards Farningham and the junction with Beesfield Lane.

Next week will see resurfacing further south on the A225: from the point at which Station Road becomes High Street to the junction with Bower Lane.  The works will be carried out overnight (between 10pm and 5am) on two consecutive nights, starting on 28 April.

Unlike last year's works, this project was not initiated by a bid from our local Highways team (though they are certainly supportive of it) but rather as a result of what is called the 'gateway survey'. KCC carries out regular inspections of the county's roads, and as part of this process all roads in the county are inspected annually to determine their condition and priority for resurfacing. This is undertaken through both mechanical and visual inspections. It was this survey that identified this section of the A225 as a resurfacing priority. We should therefore see a third enhancement to the main route through Eynsford.
