A249 Improvements Scheme

Dear stakeholder,

 

Please see traffic management update for next week.

 

Grovehurst Road North (Iwade) to open under traffic lights

Due to the new road layout which will be in place on Grovehurst Road north (Iwade), the road will be opened under traffic management. We will be installing two-way temporary traffic lights on approach to the developer roundabout, for the safety of our workforce and pedestrians. We ask that road users drive with care as they navigate the new layout.

 

Grovehurst Road south (B2005) closure from 30 June until 14 July 2025

This is to inform you that there will be a full closure of Grovehurst Road south B2005 for two weeks starting from Monday 30 June. This closure is to allow us to continue with drainage, kerbing and various works on the southern gyratory.
