Temporary road closure in Broadstairs from 26 March to allow essential drainage repair works to be completed.
A temporary road closure has been implemented on Reading Street in Broadstairs from 26 March 2026 to allow Kent County Council to carry out critical drainage repair works. The road will be closed for up to three days, depending on how quickly the works can be completed. Residents and motorists should expect disruption and plan alternative routes accordingly.
The closure affects Reading Street, with the exact section indicated by signs and barriers on site. The works are necessary to maintain the integrity of the drainage infrastructure serving the area. Kent County Council is working to minimise disruption, but the closure is essential to ensure the works are carried out safely and efficiently.
Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the works, allowing residents to move through the area on foot. An alternative route is available for any through traffic, which will be clearly signposted. Residents are advised to allow extra time for journeys and to consider using alternative roads during the three-day period.
Motorists should check for updates before travelling, as work completion times may vary. If you have any concerns or require further information about these works, please contact Kent County Council directly for the most current status.
