Kent County Council Highways will close Broadwater Rise in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on Wednesday, 25 March 2026. The road will be shut between the junctions of Broadcroft and Broadmead from 07:00 until 19:00 while crews carry out urgent road repairs.
The 12-hour closure is required so that workers can patch the road surface to prevent further damage. Drivers and residents who usually use this route will need to follow diversion signs that will be set up around the area during the day.
People living nearby or commuting through the town are being asked to plan their journeys in advance to avoid delays. Live updates on the work and traffic flow can be found through the one.network map which tracks local road disruptions.
This maintenance work is part of regular efforts to keep local streets safe for everyone. The road is expected to reopen fully once the patching is completed on Wednesday evening.
