Kingsferry Bridge, Sheppey, Kent - Summer closures

Post by gaz »

The Kingsferry bridge is the only cycle route available between mainland Kent and the Isle of Sheppey. Cycling is prohibited on the adjacent A249 high level bridge.

Work on the 1960s lifting bridge will see closures this summer:
Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 June
Saturday 15 to Saturday 22 June (8 days)
Saturday 29 to Saturday 6 July (8 days)
Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 July

Rail replacement bus services will be in place, with the usual attendant cycle restrictions. Whilst I anticipate a "shuttle bus" service for non-motorised road users, I have yet to see confirmation of this and would expect it to be infrequent and unreliable.
