A20 ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
What is happening?
The Highways agency is going to resurface both carriageways and on all 5 roundabouts on the A20 into Dover, from the Western Heights Roundabout (outskirts of Dover) to the Eastern Docks Roundabout.
When will the work take place?
The work will commence from 3rd March 2008 and will take between 12 and 15 weeks to complete
What Disruption will this cause?
Excluding the roundabouts, each of the phases will require single lane closures during the day. During these daytime closures, the contractors will be removing the old road surface ready for the new surface to be laid overnight. Between 20.00 and 05.00, the contractors will close one direction of traffic when resurfacing between the roundabouts but will have to completely close the road in both directions when working on the roundabouts themselves.
During these works, traffic on the approach to Western Heights Roundabout will be subject to a 50mph speed limit. All diversions will be signed and recovery vehicles will be available whilst these routes are in operation. The noisier works will be complete by 23.00 each night.
Working with Kent Police and the Highways Agency Traffic Officer Service, the contractors will closely monitor the roadworks and the approaches to the roadworks to assess traffic flow and ensure all diversions, traffic cones and signs are operating correctly.
All emergency services operating blue lights will be given access through the works.
What are the diversion routes?
Five different diversion routes will be used throughout the works (the details can be found on the Highways website – see link below) These routes will only be used at night when the A20 is closed in one, or both directions. The contractors have worked closely with Dover Harbour Board to ensure that access to the port will be available at all times.
