Kent County Council awards £3.5M scheme for Paddock Wood road improvements

Kent County Council has appointed Breheny Civil Engineering to deliver a £2.97 million improvement scheme at the B2017 Badsell Road and B2160 Maidstone Road junction in Paddock Wood, Kent. The contract, which runs until June 2027, is designed to increase junction capacity and improve accessibility. The works include widening roads, installing new junction signals, and providing new drainage basins to mitigate flood risk.

The infrastructure improvements are intended to manage the traffic impact from three major housing developments in Paddock Wood, which will deliver nearly 1,000 new homes. By increasing junction capacity and improving flood defenses, the scheme aims to support local growth and enhance safety for residents and students.
