Road Closures

ROAD CLOSURE: New Barn Road, Hawkenbury & Sutton Valence from 9th July for 2 days, between 7am and 7pm File Uploaded: 2 July 2025 133.8 KB

Kent County Council will be working to improve the road surface of New Barn Road, Hawkenbury and Sutton Valence, Maidstone, between Four Oaks Road and A274 Headcorn Road.

These road surface improvement works are programmed to start on the 9th July 2025 and should take 2 days to complete. (Weekend working). These activities will be undertaken during a working window between the hours of 7am and 7pm. This type of work can be affected by bad weather, so if it is not possible for KCC to carry it out at this time, they will arrange a new date and inform via a letter drop to homes.

KCC will also put up signs along the road, before they start, showing the date we plan to start work. During these essential works it will be necessary to close the road completely so that KCC can carry out the works safely for both the workforce and road users. The diversion route will be in place via Four Oaks Road, Summerhill, Moat Road, A274 Millbank and A274 Headcorn Road (And vice versa).
