A major bridge over the M20 is set to close for two days.

Station Road bridge in Aylesford will be shut over the weekend for essential maintenance.

The bridge, which crosses the motorway between junctions 4 for Leybourne and 5 for Aylesford, will be closed for work to replace the joints, waterproofing and resurfacing.

The closure will be in place from 8pm on Friday until 5am on Monday, October 18.

It will also be closed overnight, between 8pm and 5am, on Monday 18 and Tuesday, October 19. The M20 itself will remain open throughout.

A diversion will be in place via London Road and Hall Road. Pedestrians should cross the M20 by using Robson Drive and Teapot Lane Bridge to re-join Station Road.
