The road will be closed between the junctions with Spade Lane, Upchurch and Playstool Road, Newington, affecting A2 London Road and A2 Hartlip Hill.
The alternative route is via A2, A278, M2 and A249, as fully listed below. There is also a route for non-motorway traffic.
The closures are to enable Kent County Council to carry out essential carriageway resurfacing works at the junction with Breach Lane.
Delays are likely, and it is recommended that motorists allow extra time for their journeys and find alternative routes.
Breach Lane will be closed between A2 Hartlip Hill and Boxted Lane. The alternative route is via Breach Lane and the eastern part of the non-motorway route shown below.
These works are weather dependent, and if adverse conditions prevent them going ahead on the planned dates shown, revised dates will be notified and signposted on site.
It is inevitable that residents and businesses near the works will experience some disruption. Access to properties within the closed section of road will generally be available throughout the works.
Access to properties directly fronting onto the area of the works will need to be restricted for short periods, but if you have any particular access needs, please let the workforce on the site know. 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 to resurface.
