Resurfacing programme

Kent has one of the largest road networks in the country. We are responsible for looking after over 5,000 miles of roads and 4,000 miles of pavements.

So we understand the condition of the roads and pavements and can decide the roads to repair, we get information from:

• mechanical surveys using machines
• our highway inspectors' reports 
• members of the council
• the public.

We plan resurfacing works for the roads that most need repairs and the schedule of our planned works are available to view:

• Countywide resurfacing programme for December (Excel, 288k)

Access to your property during repairs

When we're working near your home, we will try to maintain access to your road and property, but this will depend on the exact state of the works at the time you want to access your property.

We will normally have staff at each end of the road closure to control traffic. To access your road or drive please park in a safe location and speak with these staff to let them know where you need to get to. They will try to make sure you can safely access your property as soon as possible.

Access to the road for non-residents will not be allowed unless arrangements have been made or there is a essential need.
