In addition, there is a lane closure and temporary traffic lights on nearby Willington Street, due to end at 5pm tomorrow (Wednesday).

And Church Road at Otham, near the new Parsonage Place development, is closed to through traffic and will remain so until October 18.

Long diversions are in place for that one.

All three closures are due to works on the water mains by South East Water.
