Sundays 22:30 – 05:30
The Order would come into force on 24th August 2025 and have a maximum duration of eighteen months, ceasing when the works are complete.
Traffic affected by the closures would be diverted coast-bound on the A2 to Darenth Interchange (M25 Junction 2), then London-bound on the A2 to Dartford Heath Interchange, southbound on Old Bexley Lane, eastbound on Oakfield Lane, northbound on Heath Lane (Upper), north-eastbound on Princes Road and southbound on Shepherd's Lane.
The temporary closures and diversion routes would be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
