What happened?
The Highways Agency replaced the existing road surface on both carriageways and on all five roundabouts on the A20 in Dover from the Western Heights Roundabout (Aycliff Roundabout) to the Eastern Docks Roundabout.
The work was undertaken in thirteen sections (ten phases as some werecombined) using five different diversion routes.
Why were the works carried out?
To improve the safety of the A20.
The road surface was replaced to improve the overall safety of the A20 for all road users. This included providing greater skid resistance, removing the existing ruts in the road and replacing the existing line markings to increase their visibility.
To reduce noise
The old road surface was replaced with low noise material, which will help reduce the level of noise for all road users and those living nearby.
To help avoid future disruption
During the works, the existing road was strengthened to increase its lifespan and the manhole covers were replaced to reduce possible future disruption.
