Update - Emergency Closure - Oak Lane, Upchurch
The emergency closure of Oak Lane, Upchurch (Swale Area) remains necessary due to the serious collapse in the carriageway.
We have been advised that Otterham Quay Lane is due to re-open from approximately 2:30pm today.
We have been told that Seymour Road is also due to re-open at approximately 2:30pm today.
Oak Lane remains closed in the vicinity of the railway bridge.
The alternative route (once Otterham Quay Lane has re-opened) is via A2 London Road, Moor Street, Otterham Quay Lane, Wallbridge Lane and Oak Lane.
It is suggested that drivers find alternative routes if they possibly can, or allow additional time for their journeys.
All roads in the area are narrow and patience is needed.
Re-opening Otterham Quay Lane should ease some of the local problems that have been faced. When the closure of Otterham Quay Lane was agreed, the closure of Oak Lane could not have been foreseen.
Otterham Quay Lane could not be re-opened immediately, until the works there were made safe.
It is likely that Oak Lane may be closed for several weeks, and a further update bulletin will be issued in the near future.
