Description

The A206 St Clements Way is located on the important A226 strategic route between Dartford and Gravesend, provides links to the A2 and Dartford Crossing, and access to Bluewater and the Crossways business parks. St Clements Way also provides direct access to Greenhithe Station and forms a key link for the Fastrack bus service and other important bus services in the area.

Substantial new development has been built and is planned in the area and this will increase traffic flows and congestion. This improvement scheme forms part of a wider package of improvements (including the A2 Bean junction) aimed at reducing congestion and catering for future growth and development in the Kent Thameside area.

The aim of the scheme is to reduce traffic congestion and improve journey time reliability. This will be achieved by increasing the size and capacity of the London Road/St Clements Way roundabout and the provision of new bus facilities along St Clements Way will assist in the planned expansion of the Fastrack bus service.

The site is highly constrained by existing buildings but where possible existing KCC land has been utilised to maximize the benefits of the scheme. The existing pedestrian crossings will be upgraded with new and more efficient signal equipment and the existing footway along St Clements Way, between London Road and Mounts Road, will be converted to a shared footway/cycleway facility. Noise fencing is being provided to mitigate the impact the increase in noise levels and will be integrated with new landscape planting. Construction is currently programmed to start in February 2018 and due to be completed in the spring of 2019.To download the tender documentation please go to https://www.kentbusinessportal.org.uk.
