Hermitage Lane Improvement Scheme

Copyright: © 2017 Kent County Council All rights reserved Telephone: 03000 418181 E-mail: HermitageLane@kent.gov.uk Website: www.kent.gov.uk/hermitagelane

An improvement scheme has been developed to ease the congestion currently being experienced on Hermitage Lane at the entrance to the retail park.

Scheme Details

The layout will provide a longer dedicated lane for vehicles turning right into the retail park (see overleaf). This will allow an uninterrupted straight ahead lane to be provided for through traffic heading south through the junction.

A dedicated left turn lane will also be provided on the other side of the junction which will mean less delay for north bound traffic.

Construction

Construction is due to be carried out from the beginning of September and be completed by December 2017. Our works will be carefully managed during this period to keep any additional delay to a minimum. It is planned to remove the existing traffic islands to enable traffic to move through the junction as currently whilst construction is underway. Temporary traffic signals will mirror the current signal operation. Resurfacing works and traffic island modifications will be undertaken during the night. Lane closures will be kept to the minimum necessary to enable the scheme to be constructed.

Information Updates

Advanced variable message signs (VMS) will be erected one month prior to commencement to advise the travelling public that the works are due to take place.

These will remain on site during the construction phase to provide an update on progress.

Further newsletters will be provided during construction.
