Road Maintenance in Your Area Road Stud Replacement Sandwich Road, Eastry

Published on

When we plan to carry out the work and how long it will take This is to let you know that, as part of the on-going maintenance and improvement of the highway network, Kent County Council will be working to improve the road surface of Sandwich Road, Eastry between the junctions of Eastry Bypass to Little Walton. These road surface improvement works are programmed to start on the 19th November 2024 and should take 1 Night to complete. These activities will be undertaken during a short working window between the hours of 20:00hrs and 06:00hrs. This type of work can be affected by bad weather, so if it is not possible for us to carry it out at this time, we will arrange a new date and let you know via a letter drop to your home. We will also put up signs along the road, before we start, showing the date we plan to start work. During these essential works it will be necessary to close the road completely so that we can carry out the works safely for both the workforce and road users. During this closure, a signed diversion route will be in place during the closure via Eastry Bypass, Dover Road, Lower Street and High Street vice versa. What we plan to do Following surfacing of the carriageway earlier this year we will be returning to reinstate the road studs. This will involve the milling of a small section of the carriageway at each point a road stud is required. Studs will then be reinstated and set into the surface. A short period of time will be required for the material securing the stud to cure. These works are relatively quick and mobile, and we will work progressively throughout the road until all studs are reinstated keeping noise and disruption to any one location to an absolute minimum. How you can help It is inevitable that residents and businesses near the works will experience some disruption, but we will try to keep these to a minimum. Any pavements will remain open at all times, but vehicle access to properties will need to be restricted for a short period while work is carried out in front of each property. If you have any particular access needs, please let the workforce on site know. If your vehicle is usually parked on the carriageway, please make sure you park it somewhere else away from the site whilst the works are carried out.
