UPDATE: Wednesday 16th October - Notification of Major Gas Works: A2 - High Street, Newington

We are continuing to carry out network upgrades along the A2/ High Street, Newington. We will shortly be carrying out preparation work for when we move into Phase 2 of our project between Spade Lane to Mill Lane from Monday 21st October.

To ensure everyone’s safety, temporary traffic lights remain in place on the A2 / London Road around our work area. We manually control our lights Monday to Friday between 7:30am and 7:30pm, and between 8:00am and 5:00pm on Saturdays. These lights will still be in operation outside of these times.

Oak Lane and Canterbury Lane will be fully reopened once phase one is completed. Wallbridge Lane will also resume two-way traffic flow.

From approximately 12 noon on Monday 21st October, we'll need to temporarily close Mill Lane for approximately four weeks. Signed diversion routes will be in place for motorists via Spade Lane, Meresborough Lane, Dane Lane, The Street, Hollow Lane and Lower Hartlip Hill.

Following consultation with Kent County Council and Medway Council, advanced warning signs can only be positioned on Kent County Council's geographical area.

We would encourage all commuters to please plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey. Updates about our project can be found on our dedicated page here.

We appreciate your understanding and patience while we carry out essential gas mains replacement work.

If you would like any further information or advice, please let me know.

Kind regards
