Introduction
A two-year programme of major road and infrastructure improvements started in February 2009.
When completed, the works will open up key sites for redevelopment and provide Chatham with extra traffic capacity and easier journeys.
The works are paid for by central government funding and build on the benefits brought about by the replacement of the Chatham ring-road system in 2007.
Delivering this remodelled road system is an essential element of the 20-year regeneration programme that will establish Chatham as the commercial and cultural centre of a transformed city of Medway. The road improvements have the public support of leading businesses, including Arriva, Tesco and the Pentagon Shopping Centre.
Further information regarding the projects around Chatham town Centre can be found on the following pages:
