Road users, business owners and local residents have been invited to attend a public exhibition about plans to widen the A21 between Tonbridge and Pembury.

The exhibition will display detailed plans for the £69.7 million upgrade and Highways Agency members will be on hand to answer any questions the public may have.

Builder Balfour Beatty was announced as the company behind the development in July.

A 2.5 mile section will be upgraded from single to dual carriageway, adding a lane in each direction, upgrading junctions and improving the overall road layout.

Advanced work on the project has already begun, with main construction starting in the spring next year.

As part of a recorded investment of £24bn by 2021 by the Government towards road improvements, the scheme aims to make journeys on the A21 safer and more reliable.

The exhibition will be open at the Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel in Pembury between 2pm and 8pm tomorrow and 10am and 4pm on Saturday.
