A225 night time closures start next week

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the A225 Shoreham Road will be closed at night (8PM to 6AM) for 14 nights excluding weekends starting next Tuesday (27 July). The closure, which is for Kent Highways to carry out road resurfacing, affects a long stretch of the A225 from Castle Road Lullingstone to Station Approach in Otford. 

I have been asked about access by residents to their homes. I have checked and the usual approach is being followed, which is that every effort will be made for residents to be able to get access, but there could be delays if (for example) you live in a side road and there is heavy machinery working directly at the entrance to your road. 

For roads such as Hillydeal Road and Greenhill Road, which have a horseshoe shape with two entrances, this is less likely to be a problem since the two entrances should not be worked on simultaneously. However, where there is a single access on to the A225 the possibility of delays is greater.
