Motorists travelling on the A249 near Grovehurst Roundabout at Iwade should be prepared for significant road closures as work continues to install a new bridge. The Sittingbourne-bound carriageway will be closed tonight (Thursday) from 8 PM until 5 AM tomorrow (Friday) as part of the ongoing construction efforts.
This closure is an addition to the previously announced closures intended to facilitate the bridge installation. Over the weekend, both carriageways of the A249 will be completely closed as the new road section is lifted into place.
To ensure all work is completed as scheduled, there are contingency plans to shut the A249 in both directions from 8 PM on Friday (September 6) until 5 AM on Saturday (September 7).

During these closures, traffic will be diverted up and over the Grovehurst roundabout. Drivers are advised to follow the diversion signs and allow extra time for their journeys.
[block_4]Jacksons, the contractors responsible for the project, have assured the public that they are making every effort to minimize disruption, but they acknowledge that these closures are necessary to ensure the safe and efficient installation of the new bridge.
Motorists are encouraged to plan their routes accordingly and stay informed of any further updates on the road closures as the project progresses.
