UPDATE - Notification of Major Gas Works: A2 - High Street, Newington
I am writing to provide you with an update regarding our gas network upgrade in the A2, Newington.
Our engineers continue to upgrade our gas pipe in London Road at its junction with Oak Lane, Hartlip Hill. For everyone’s safety around our site, temporary traffic lights remain in place around our work area.
In agreement with Kent County Council to keep everyone safe, a temporary 30mph speed limit is in place and traffic will be able to enter Oak Lane from London Road. Canterbury Lane will be closed and Wallbridge Lane made one way with a signed diversion in place. Vehicles heavier than 7.5 tons will not be permitted to use side roads.
Following consultation with Highways England and Medway, an alternative route will not be in place for HGVs and no permit scheme will be used at this stage. Please be assured that we will continue to update local residents on the development of our work.
We appreciation your understanding and patience while we carry out essential gas mains replacement work in the area. Latest updates on our project can be found on our dedicated website page here.
If you have any further questions, please let me know
Kind regards
