Medway has been awarded £4.972 million for capital investment works on the Medway Tunnel.
The funding will be spent on new ventilation fans, crash barriers, a vehicle monitoring system and slip road improvements.
Works are expected to begin later on this year and are due to be completed in the next five years.
Cllr Phil Filmer, Medway Council’s Portfolio Holder for Frontline Services, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to be awarded nearly £5million funding from the Department for Transport. This comes as a result of the continuous lobbying and meetings with the Transport Secretary by Medway Council for government funding for an essential part of Medway’s infrastructure. We are committed to keeping Medway moving.”
