ALERT: Maidstone Bishops Way traffic delays due to broken down vehicle

⚠️ TRAFFIC

One lane is currently blocked on Bishops Way in Maidstone due to a broken down vehicle, causing traffic disruption between two key junctions.

Traffic on Bishops Way in Maidstone is experiencing significant disruption this Friday morning following a vehicle breakdown. One of the two available lanes is completely blocked between the Central Bridge System at Fairmeadow and Palace Avenue, forcing all traffic to use the single remaining lane.

The breakdown has created a bottleneck in this busy section of Maidstone, with vehicles queuing in both directions as they navigate through the congested area. Drivers approaching this stretch of road should be prepared for slower-moving traffic and potential delays.

Kent Highways is aware of the situation. Motorists are strongly advised to allow extra time for their journeys through the affected area and, if possible, consider using alternative routes to avoid further congestion. Recovery services are expected to attend the scene to remove the broken down vehicle and restore normal traffic flow.

  • One of two lanes closed between Central Bridge System (Fairmeadow) and Palace Avenue
  • Caused by a broken down vehicle on Bishops Way
