Newtown Road Bridge
Another key improvement scheme to support the growth of Ashford
started in January 2008 at Newtown Road Bridge.
Newtown Road is a key artery serving the Willesborough area but
it is constrained by a low level narrow width railway bridge.
The raising and widening of Newtown Road Bridge will improve
access, link the town centre with developments to the south east,
and support the proposed SMARTLINK bus service and future Park and
Ride services.
Work was completed in December 2008.
The project is funded by the department for Communities and
Local Government, Network Rail and Kent County Council as part of
making Ashford best placed in Britain.
