As part of the on-going maintenance and improvement of the highway network, Kent County Council will be resurfacing the A259 Sandgate Esplanade from Court Road to Castle Bay.
These road surface improvement works are programmed to start on Monday 26th June and should take 8 Nights to complete (should there be any unforeseen delays, Kent County Council may resolve these issues by undertaking weekend working to avoid an overrun of works). These activities will be undertaken between the hours of 20:00 and 05:00 each day.
During these essential works it will be necessary to close Sandgate Esplanade completely so that we can carry out the works safely for both the workforce and road users. The diversion route will be via B2063 Hospital Hill, West Road, North Road, Gurkha Way, Military Road and Vice Versa.
We need your help to make sure the work is done as quickly as possible and to the best possible quality. If your vehicle is usually parked on the carriageway, please make sure you park it somewhere else away from the site whilst the works are carried out, so the road is clear for us to resurface.
