What is being bought

Published requirement description

The aim of the Herne Relief Road is to alleviate existing traffic congestion concerns through

the historic village of Herne. The village of Herne is subject to an existing Air Quality

Management Area. The scheme aims to provide an alternative route to the existing

constrained A291 and therefore reduce congestion and improve journey time reliability

through the vicinity of Herne and support the construction of approximately 3,000 homes.

The project also addressed the concerns of local residents, in regard to the safety of the

current junctions between Bullockstone Road and A291 Canterbury Road and Bullockstone

Road and Lower Herne Road.

The Relief Road takes the form of a widened Bullockstone Road, currently a minor country

lane that connects the village of Greenhill and the old Thanet Way with the A291 Canterbury

Road. This includes new roundabout junctions to upgrade the existing priority junction

between A291 Canterbury Road and Bullockstone Road and the creation of a new junction

between the Strode Farm Development Spine Road and Bullockstone Road. Bullockstone

Road is to be widened to a 7m carriageway between these two junctions. The works also

include the provision of a new pedestrian/cycling facility along the full extent of

Bullockstone Road. The Relief Road, in combination with a Spine Road through the Strode

Farm Housing development, aims to provide an alternative route for strategic traffic

between A299 and Canterbury, avoiding historic Herne village.

The lotProcurement structure

single lot · no lot value published
Lot #1The project is funded by developer contributions from three nearby housing developmentsAwarded 1 yr 4 mo

The project is funded by developer contributions from three nearby housing developments

Page 4 to 8 (Strode Farm, Lower Herne Golf Club and Hillborough). Kent County Council have also secured £2.1m from the Growing Places Fund to help forward fund the scheme.

The extent of the works included within the scope of this contract extend from the junction

between the A291 Canterbury Road and Bullockstone Road to the junction between Lower

Herne Road and Bullockstone Road. The work extent includes the construction of two

highway drainage attenuation ponds, one to the north of Lower Herne Road and one to the

west of Bullockstone Road, to the south of Hares Wood. The carriageway widening will

impact Bullockstone Hill Wood, which borders the road to the east at the northern extent of

the works. Bullockstone Hill Wood has designated Ancient Woodland status.

KCC are supporting Canterbury City Council and are responsible for the design and delivery

of the project. The scheme is split into two phases.
