The Project In Brief

The Rochester Bridge Refurbishment Project in brief:

The project is paid for by the Rochester Bridge Trust. It is scheduled to run for 18 months, with the first visible works taking place on 22nd April 2019. Project management is being carried out by Arcadis, with FM Conway acting as the main Contractor – find out more about what that means here.

A full programme of works cannot be published in advance because of the changeable nature of any work site. Details of upcoming traffic management will be posted here. Please note, all efforts are being made to minimise disruption.

The programme of works will run in phases. Start dates are approximate, with works completing in one area before moving on to the next.
