A major junction is set to reopen after three days of emergency repair works following a gas leak.

The Wateringbury Crossroads, near Maidstone, was shut on Tuesday after the issue was discovered.

The road was closed in all directions to allow emergency engineers to find the leak and repair it but is now due to fully reopen tomorrow.

It was announced that the leak had been fixed this morning, and the road was awaiting re-instatement by Southern Gas Networks.

KCC highways said: "We are expecting the road to be fully reopened by the end of tomorrow.

"Significant disruption to the surrounding road network is expected from the ongoing closure."

SGN has been contacted for a comment about the leak.
