Oak Grove Lane in High Halden will close for ten days from 30 March to allow Erith Connect Ltd to carry out essential installation works.
Residents and travellers in High Halden should note that Oak Grove Lane will be completely closed from 30 March to 3 April 2026 whilst Erith Connect Ltd completes installation works in the area. This represents a significant change to local traffic patterns, and advance planning is recommended for those who regularly use this route.
Whilst the road is closed, through traffic should use the designated alternative route via the A28 Ashford Road and A262 Biddenden Road. These routes will carry diverted traffic in both directions during the closure period. Motorists are advised to allow extra journey time and plan their routes accordingly.
The local authority has confirmed that pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the works, meaning residents will retain footpath access through the affected area. This ensures that local residents can continue to move around the village on foot, even whilst vehicular access is restricted.
