Major roadworks planned for Park Wood Road

Significant roadworks are scheduled to begin on 3 July to repair and resurface the full length of Park Wood Road, from the Giles Lane roundabout to the Oaks Nursery car park. These essential works aim to improve road safety and travel conditions for all users of our Canterbury campus. The work is expected to be completed by 4 August.

During the works, Stagecoach UniBus services to Park Wood will be suspended or rerouted. Please check service updates before travelling and allow extra time for your journey.

As part of the planned improvements, changes will also be made to pedestrian crossing points and existing speed reduction measures along Park Wood Road.

The works will be delivered in phases to minimise disruption where possible; however, due to the scale of the project, traffic delays are expected. At certain times, full road closures will be necessary.

The project is currently planned to finish on Monday 4 August, but this date may change depending on how the work progresses. Access restrictions will be lifted as soon as it is safe to do so.
