ALERT: Chiddingstone Road Closed for Two Days – Openreach Works

Wellers Town Road in Chiddingstone will be completely closed from 26 March for essential broadband infrastructure works by Openreach.

Wellers Town Road in Chiddingstone will be closed for two days beginning 26 March to allow Openreach engineers to carry out critical broadband network upgrades in the area. The closure is necessary to ensure the safe installation of telecommunications infrastructure and will remain in place for the full two-day period.

The closure affects the entire width of Wellers Town Road during the works period. Residents and businesses in the immediate vicinity should expect no through traffic during this time. Local access for emergency vehicles will be maintained, though response times may be affected by the closure.

Kent residents are advised to plan alternative routes in advance and allow extra time for journeys around the Chiddingstone area during 26 and 27 March. If you have essential travel needs during this period, consider using nearby roads to bypass the closed section. Residents requiring access to properties on Wellers Town Road should contact Openreach directly for specific advice about their circumstances.

These works form part of Openreach’s ongoing programme to improve broadband connectivity across Kent. Such infrastructure improvements will ultimately benefit residents with faster, more reliable internet services once the works are completed.
