Part of a village route is set to close for roadworks.

The closure of Breach Lane, opposite Auto Evolution, in Upchurch, near Sittingbourne, is to allow pipe relay works to be carried out.

Kent County Council said the route will be shut for up to three days from Tuesday, March 23.

A spokesman said: "To allow pipe relay works to be carried out, Kent County Council intends to make an order prohibiting through traffic on part of Breach Lane, Upchurch, on or after March 23, 2021 for up to three days or until the works have been completed.

"The alternative route is via A2 Hartlip Hill, London Road, High Street, Church Lane, School Lane, Bricklands, Breach Lane and vice versa."
