Commuters in Sittingbourne, Kent, are still facing travel disruptions as major roadworks at the A249 Grovehurst Road junction continue into March 2026. The multi-million-pound project first began in September 2023 and has entered its final stages after missing several completion dates.
The ongoing work currently involves final landscaping and utility repairs being carried out by BT. These activities follow a series of delays that saw the project miss its original finish date at the end of 2024 and a later target in mid-2025.
A new closure of Grovehurst Road north is set to take place on Wednesday, 25 March 2026. According to the Iwade Parish Council, the road will be shut from 10 am to 10 pm.
Kent County Council is managing the improvement scheme, which is being built by Jackson Civil Engineering. Residents have called for better communication regarding the project timeline as the works continue to impact daily travel in the area.
