… and some more road closures

More on some road closures.

One coming up very quickly is the closure of Pilgrims Way East for two days, starting tomorrow (15 May). This is to replace a length of kerbing. Signs have been up in the road for some time.

Somewhat further out, Noah's Ark bridge over the M26 will be closed overnight (between 2200 and 0500) on 6-7 and 7-8 June. This is for works undertaken by National Highways, who are examining the joints and structure of the bridge. This will overlap with a closure of Watery Lane/ Heaverham Road outside the Manor House; scaffolding for roof works will mean a closure of the road between 6 and 15 June. 

These two closures clash to some degree, since the normal diversion route from Watery Lane would be through Noah's Ark; vehicles affected by this will have to take the same diversion as that applied for Noah's Ark, which is to go back to the A25 and then Childsbridge Lane (or vice versa). This clash will, however, only apply during the two night closures, so the number of journeys affected should be much less than would otherwise be the case.  

In Shoreham, Shacklands Road will be closed for three days starting 5 June outside Timberden Farm for works to be carried out by Thames Water.

In Otford, Rye Lane will be closed for four days starting 9 June between 0930 and 1530 outside number 30 for works to be carried out by Openreach.
