Road Closures
Road closures will be in place, so allow extra time and plan ahead.
Temporary road closures will be in place around the event site from 8.00am on Friday 22 May until 1.00am each day during the event weekend. All roads will be fully reopened by 1.00am on Monday 25 May.
The A183 (Chester Road) will be closed to all traffic from the A19 junction to the roundabout with Chislehurst Road, other than local buses which will continue to operate along that stretch until 9 pm. Bus stops between the two roundabouts will however be suspended from 10am on Friday 22 May until Monday morning on 25 May, meaning that passengers won't be able to get on or off the bus along that stretch of road. Plans are currently being finalised for local buses after 9pm.
The northbound slip road at the A19/A183 junction and Foxcover Road will also be closed to all traffic except emergency service vehicles. Signed diversions will be in place to help manage traffic.
A clearway (no stopping or parking) will also be in operation along the full length of the A183 and B1286 to help keep traffic moving safely.
For safety reasons, some restrictions, including all lay-by closures on the A19 (both northbound and southbound) between the A690 and A1231, will remain in place for the duration of the event.
