LATEST UPDATE 09/03/17 — Following the delays to complete the work, all junctions have now been re-opened at the intersection. Medway Council have implemented an emergency road closure on A230 Maidstone Road at Huntsman Corner (the junction with Pattens Lane and Walderslade Road) to accomodate highway repairs following a footway/carriageway collapse. The road closure will be in force from 7:30pm today until 7am on March 6th. Access is restricted in all four directions. Picture Credit: Medway Highways A spokesperson from Medway Council's Highways Team explained the reason behind the closure: "The depression in the carriageway has been getting worse, to the point that it was essential works were carried out to find the cause before it potentially collapsed. Some gully leads appear to have been broken when another Utility installed their apparatus, which has caused a leak, which in turn starts to wash away soil causing the depression." It is expected that motorists and public transport users will face disruption, so please be prepared to allow extra travel time. A signposted diversion route is in place and motorists are advised to follow it. Picture Credit: Medway Highways
