Key facts

Location: Birling Road, Leybourne Chase

Work: Installing 20 metres of water main

Starts: Monday 11 August

Duration: Approx. three weeks

Investment: £115,000


We’re planning to install around 20 metres of new water main in Birling Road, Leybourne Chase. By laying this new main we’ll be able to provide the community with higher quality drinking water.

When will work start, and how long will it take?

We’ll be starting this project on Monday 11 August, and expect to take around three weeks to complete the work. Our team will work quickly to complete the project sooner, if possible.


Will the road be closed?

This work will require us to close Birling Road, between the junctions of Bannister Way and Bull Road. We’ll work in phases along the road to minimise disruption and access will be maintained for residents.

The diversion route, pictured here, will take motorists through Laybourne Chase, down to the A20 and on to the A228.

A diversion map showing the route that motorists should take to avoid the closed road. The route requires motorists to travel down Bannister Way through Leybourne Chase, down Hawley Drive and join the A20 via London Road, Motorists should then join the A228 up to the roundabout that joins the north end of the closure.
