A20 London Road Aylesford

This scheme will improve the junction at the south Aylesford Retail Park on the A20 London Road.

We are proposing to improve the existing junction on the A20 London Road at Hall Road and Mills Road in Aylesford due to:

  • the predicted future increase in traffic
  • the proposed new housing developments in the surrounding area.

A scheme to replace the signalised junction with a free-flowing roundabout was previously developed and consulted on to provide local residents and stakeholders with the opportunity to provide feedback. View the consultation.

Following the consultation, we decided to review all available options to provide additional traffic capacity and improvements to the drainage system to help alleviate the flooding that occurs on the A20 London Road at the junction.

Considerable growth is planned in this area, including the ‘Whitepost Fields’ development which will increase congestion between Maidstone and Ditton. The proposed scheme intends to improve the road network by providing additional capacity, improving air quality and reducing congestion.

Objectives

The scheme objectives are to:

  • deliver travel time improvements by increasing junction capacity and reducing congestion
  • improve air quality in the area
  • improve junction safety for motorists and pedestrians
  • support the delivery of 3900 houses to be built in the area adjacent to the junction.

Forecasted timescales

  • Alternative junction improvement option - design in progress.
  • Drainage improvement options - investigations and design in progress.
