Road Maintenance in Your Area
Road Surface Improvement (Ironworks)
The Street, Woodnesborough
When we plan to carry out the work and how long it will take
This is to let you know that, as part of the on-going maintenance and improvement of the highway network,
Kent County Council will be working to improve the road surface of The Street, Woodnesborough between
the junctions of Oak Hill to A256 Sandwich Bypass.
These road surface improvement works are programmed to start on the 2nd October 2024 and should take 6
days to complete. These activities will be undertaken during a working window between the hours of 07.00am
and 19.00pm.
This type of work can be affected by bad weather, so if it is not possible for us to carry it out at this time, we will
arrange a new date and let you know via a letter drop to your home. We will also put up signs along the road,
before we start, showing the date we plan to start work.
During these essential works it will be necessary to close the road completely so that we can carry out the
works safely for both the workforce and road users. The diversion route will be via Sandwich Road, A2
Roundabout Only, Honeywood Road, Honeywood Park Way, A2/A256 Interchange, A256 Sandwich Bypass,
Sandwich Road (and vice versa)
What we plan to do
Following on from our road surface treatment earlier in the year we will now be returning to raise any ironwork
and ensure that it is level with the new surface. The raising of ironwork requires completion after the new
surface is laid, as undertaking this activity prior to surfacing can compromise the works and result in the gullies
and manholes not being level with the new surface. Our works detailed in this notification will ensure that the
ironwork is raised to the correct level and compliment the recent surfacing works.
How you can help
It is inevitable that residents and businesses near the works will experience some disruption, but we will try to
keep these to a minimum. Any pavements will remain open at all times, but vehicle access to properties will
need to be restricted for a short period while work is carried out in front of each property. If you have any
particular access needs, please let the workforce on site know.
We need your help to make sure the work is done as quickly as possible and to the best possible quality.
If your vehicle is usually parked on the carriageway, please make sure you park it somewhere else
away from the site whilst the works are carried out, so the road is clear for us to complete these works
activities.
