Work has begun on installing around 20 metres of new water main in Birling Road, Leybourne Chase. By laying this new main we’ll be able to provide the community with higher quality drinking water.
How long will this project take?
This project started on Monday 11 August, and is expect to take around three weeks to complete. Our team will work quickly to complete the project sooner, if possible.
Will the road be closed?
This work will require us to close Birling Road, between the junctions of Bannister Way and Bull Road. We’ll work in phases along the road to minimise disruption and access will be maintained for residents.
The diversion route, pictured here, will take motorists through Leybourne Chase, down to the A20 and on to the A228.
