Surface Treatment Road Closures 2018 - Swale Area
To allow Surface Treatment works to be safely carried out, it will be necessary to close a number of roads throughout the Swale area. Some roads may also need prior closures for patching works to be done.
At the time that this Bulletin is being issued, the dates of the closures are yet to be programmed.
Once known, the planned dates of closures and other restrictions will be notified in advance of the works, and indicated by signage displayed on site 14 days before works are due to start.
Certain roads may require more than one closure.
- • For patching works (if required)
- • For the actual surface treatment works
- • For the subsequent reinstatement of road markings and adjustment of iron works (road drain covers, manhole covers, etc) needed to suit the new surface
Closures will generally be between the times 7:00am and 7:00pm hours each day, but there may be exceptions to this to suit local requirements.
A temporary speed limit of 20 mph may need to be imposed on certain roads for a period of about 7 days following the treatment. Where this does apply, the 20 mph Speed Limit will be clearly indicated by relevant signs clearly displayed on site.
This programme is subject to weather and other factors which may cause changes at short notice. Every effort will be made to keep as close as possible to the programmed dates that are notified, and any changes will be advised locally and signposted on site.
The roads affected, extent of closures and alternative routes are as shown below.
Halstow Lane, Upchurch
Closure between Holywell Lane and Breach Lane
Alternative route via Halstow Lane, Breach Lane, A2 Hartlip, A2 London Road, Oak Lane and Forge Lane.
Closures are planned to commence on or after Monday the 11th of December 2017, for a maximum duration of 18 months.
