Bassett Rd Closed: Sittingbourne Roadworks

Bassett Road in Sittingbourne will be closed to traffic from August 15th to September 18th due to essential scaffolding work carried out by Kent County Council. The closure will affect drivers travelling through the area, with motorists advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays.

The exact duration of the closure is from August 15th at midnight until September 18th at midnight. During this period, Bassett Road will be inaccessible to vehicular traffic, with the work being undertaken by the highway authority to ensure the stability and safety of the road infrastructure.

As a result, drivers are being advised to check traffic and travel apps for the latest information and to plan their journeys in advance to avoid any potential disruption. Motorists are also urged to use alternative routes to bypass the closure and reach their destinations on time.

Alternative routes for drivers include taking the A249 or A2 to bypass the closure. It is essential for drivers to regularly check for updates on traffic conditions and road closures to ensure they can plan their journeys accordingly.

The scaffolding work is part of a larger maintenance programme undertaken by Kent County Council to ensure the county's roads are safe and well-maintained. While the work is essential, it may cause inconvenience to drivers, and the council is working hard to minimise the impact on local traffic.

While the work is taking place, traffic signals may be in operation to manage the flow of traffic through the area. Motorists are asked to follow the instructions of traffic signals and to be patient and understanding of the situation.

Those who rely on public transport may also be affected by the closure, and passengers are advised to check with local transport providers for information on alternative routes and schedules.
