Update on Road Resurfacing - Station Road and Brightling Road, Robertsbridge
9th Apr 2024
There have been a number of conflicting and confusing rumours reported about Station Road resurfacing.
The following is the current status - as always things may change.
The repairs to Station Road and the part of Brightling Road from the level crossing to the junction with Bishops Lane are in the early stages of planning though they will certainly be done this financial year 24/25, currently planned for the school summer holidays in July/August to avoid disruption to school traffic. Some investigations have indicated that there will be sections along this road which will need to be fully reconstructed, with varying depths of treatment depending on the condition of the road, some receiving one layer and other sections receiving two layers of surface. It is likely to need a full road closure.
As more information is available (including any interim patching works on parts of Brightling Road before the Summer) updates will be posted here.
