M20 Junction 4-5 Noise Barrier
M20 Junction 4-5 Noise Barrier
The Project
In order to reduce levels of noise for local residents living alongside the M20 motorway between junction 4 and 5 on the Londonbound carriageway the existing noise barrier has been replaced with a new higher version. Works included some vegetation clearance, the removal of the old 2.5 metre concrete barrier and installation a 4 metre timber barrier from Hall Road to Teapot Lane footbridge.
We completed the majority of the vegetation clearance before starting removal of the existing concrete barrier. This was then completely removed along the whole section as the new timber barrier was installed.
Throughout the works there were narrow running lanes in place and a 50mph speed limit on a three mile section of the M20 adjacent to the area of work.
