Kent County Council Highways will close five major roads in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, for two nights starting 18 March 2026 to carry out road lining works. The closures are intended to allow teams to safely repaint road markings on several busy routes through the town centre.
The works will affect Grosvenor Road, Upper Grosvenor Road, Meadow Road, Goods Station Road, and Victoria Road. To keep disruption to a minimum, the roads will only be shut between 23:00 and 06:00 each night.
Motorists are encouraged to plan alternative journeys, as the diversions may cause slight delays for late-night drivers and those starting their commutes early in the morning. This maintenance follows a period of significant traffic changes in the district, including major gas pipeline upgrades managed by SGN since 2024.
The council uses night-time closures for this type of routine work to avoid creating traffic jams during the day. Drivers should follow all posted diversion signs while the work is being completed on these town centre streets.
