Goudhurst High Street Shuts Down for Major Cable Work
Traffic on Goudhurst High Street (A262) is at a standstill. The road remains fully closed in both directions from Smiths Lane to B2079 Balcombes Hill as urgent maintenance continues. Electrical crews are busy installing a new cable, forcing a lengthy closure of this key route.
Specialist Teams Dig Deep Amid Live Electrical Lines
Highly trained teams have been called in to dig a large hole and connect the cable to the live electrical network. This complicated job demands strict safety measures to protect both workers and the public throughout the operation.
Traffic Chaos and Delays Loom for Locals
The closure has sparked traffic jams and headaches for drivers. Alternative routes are now in place, but locals and commuters should brace for delays and plan journeys carefully. The maintenance work is set to carry on late into the evening, with no break in sight.
We’ll keep you posted with updates on the maintenance progress and when Goudhurst High Street will finally reopen.
