Temporary Road Closure - Lower Rainham Road, Upchurch

It will be necessary to close part of Lower Rainham Road, Upchurch, in the Swale area, planned from Monday 8th April 2019 with estimated completion by Sunday 14th April 2019.

Lower Rainham Road will be closed in the vicinity of the roundabout junction with Otterham Quay Lane.

Access to the remainder of Lower Rainham Road continues from the Rainham direction up to where the road is closed, but there will be no through access.

The alternative route for through traffic is via Lower Rainham Road, Station Road, A2 High Street (Rainham) and Otterham Quay Lane.

The closure is to allow surfacing works to be carried out to a previously installed sewer, being carried out by Mostrim Groundworks.

Due to the nature of these works, it will not be possible to re-open the road outside the working hours.

The works have been timed to be carried out during the school holidays, to reduce their impact.

Some delays are likely at times, especially at busier times, so it is recommended that motorists allow extra time for their journeys or consider using alternative routes during these works.

There is a chance that the works may over-run for such reasons as adverse weather conditions or unforeseen engineering difficulties.
