Dartford Roadworks This Week: West Tunnel and QEII Bridge

Nine things are worth knowing about Dartford roadworks before you drive or catch a train in the next fortnight:

• The west tunnel closes every weeknight to Friday 20 November, from 9pm to 5.30am, and the Junction 1a northbound entry slip road goes with it. Saturday 14 November is 10pm to 6am
• The QEII Bridge shuts overnight on Saturday 21 November, from 10pm. It is the first full bridge closure since the October bearing work
• The east tunnel shuts on Sunday 15 and Sunday 22 November, 10.30pm to 5.30am, with no northbound access over 4.8m
• The A282 southbound from Junction 1a to Junction 2 and the M25 anticlockwise from Junction 3 to Junction 2 shut every night to Friday 13 November
• The Swanley Interchange (M25 Junction 3) has a 40mph limit for signal work, and the A20 at the interchange shuts overnight on Monday 16 November
• Hythe Street and Orchard Street are covered by a closure order that runs to 31 May 2028
• Late trains via Bexleyheath are replaced by buses between Lewisham and Dartford, from 00:10 to the end of service, to Friday 13 November
• No trains run to or from Charing Cross, Waterloo East or Cannon Street on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November
• No Southeastern trains run through Lewisham on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November, and the Bexleyheath line is closed, with buses to Dartford

Updated 11 November: National Highways’ new seven-day report, from Tuesday 10 November, no longer lists the Saturday 14 November closure of the Junction 3 roundabout. It adds two A20 closures at the Swanley Interchange on Monday 16 November. The crossing nights are unchanged. On the trains, late-night buses replace Bexleyheath line trains to Friday 13 November, and Dartford station shuts all day on Sunday 29 November.

The roads here were rechecked today, Wednesday 11 November, against the National Highways A282 maintenance page (its 9 November update), its seven-day closure report (covering Tuesday 10 to Monday 16 November) and Kent County Council’s traffic notices on the Public Notice Portal (no new Dartford batch since 6 November). The trains were rechecked against Southeastern’s engineering notices today. Overnight closures change at short notice, so confirm before a late-night journey.

The crossing: what is shut, night by night

National Highways updated its project page on 9 November. It now lists closures to Sunday 22 November. These are the nights still to come:

The nights come from the “Upcoming closures” list in National Highways’ 9 November update. It says the work is “routine overnight maintenance”. The QEII Bridge night is “for routine maintenance” too.

One detail does not match. The same update gives the bridge closure as 10pm Saturday 21 November to 5am Sunday in its text, and 6am in its list of closures. Allow for the later time. National Highways says the west tunnel stays open overnight for northbound traffic on the east tunnel nights.

The seven-day report, covering Tuesday 10 to Monday 16 November and read on 11 November, matches the project page’s times. It lists the Junction 1a slip road closing with the west tunnel on every weeknight. It also lists these closures on the roads around Dartford:

• A282 southbound, Junction 1a to Junction 2: shut every night to Friday 13 November, 10pm to 5.30am (Friday 11pm to 6am), for joint replacement
• M25 anticlockwise, Junction 3 to Junction 2: shut every night to Friday 13 November, 10pm to 5.30am (Friday 11pm to 6am), for cabling work
• A20 westbound Swanley bypass link road: shut every night to Friday 13 November, 10pm to 5.30am (Friday from 11pm), for electrical work
• A20 eastbound, Crittalls Corner to the Swanley Interchange: shut Monday 16 November, 10pm to 5.30am, for survey work. Crittalls Corner is at Sidcup, about four miles west of Dartford
• A20 westbound at the Swanley Interchange, between the exit and entry slip roads: shut Monday 16 November, 10pm to 5.30am, for barrier repairs
• M25 clockwise Junction 30 entry slip road, at Lakeside on the Essex side: shut Thursday 12 and Friday 13 November, from 10pm (Friday 11pm) to 5.30am, for gantry work

Further east, the A2 eastbound slip roads at Marling Cross, near Gravesend and about six miles from Dartford, shut every night to Friday 13 November, 8pm to 6am, for surveys.

The report gives no diversion beyond “via National Highways Network” or the local road network, so follow the signs.

The Junction 1a slip road goes with the tunnel

The project page leaves this out, and it matters if you join the A282 in Dartford rather than crossing it. On every weeknight west tunnel closure in the seven-day report, the A282 northbound Junction 1a entry slip road is listed as closed at the same times. If you normally join the northbound A282 at Junction 1a late at night, you will be sent on to another junction.

The height limit

The project page says northbound vehicles between 4.8m (15ft 9in) and 5.0m (16ft 6in) are subject to a height restriction. On the east tunnel nights, Sunday 15 and Sunday 22 November, the seven-day report says there is no access over the crossing for vehicles over 4.8m. If you drive anything that tall, avoid those nights.

The order below also allows a 4.8m height restriction whenever the west bore is closed. Check the signs if you are close to the limit.

The Swanley Interchange: 40mph and a roundabout closure

National Highways has made an order putting a 24-hour 40mph speed limit on the Swanley Interchange, where the M25 meets the M20 and A20 at Junction 3. That is one junction south of the A2 at Junction 2, and it is the way most Dartford drivers head for the M20 or the Kent coast (Public Notice Portal).

The limit covers:

• every road approaching the roundabout from the M25, M20 and A20
• the slip roads leading on to those motorways
• the roundabout itself
• short stretches of the local A20 and the B2173

It is for signalling work, and the order could apply from 00:01 on Monday 19 October. The order lasts up to 18 months, “expiring when the works are complete”, but it does not say how long the work will take. The south side of the Junction 3 roundabout closed on 1 and 8 November and the north side on 7 November, for “traffic signal upgrade works”. A further north-side closure on Saturday 14 November was in the 9 November closure report, but the report from 10 November no longer lists it. There is still no scheme page saying when the work ends. Signs will show where the 40mph starts and stops.

The seven-month order is in force

National Highways’ order NH/SE/2026/A282/70 came into force on Monday 5 October and lasts up to 18 months. The works are expected to take about seven months, starting on or after Wednesday 7 October (Public Notice Portal). In phases, it allows National Highways to:

• close both carriageways of the A282 between Junction 2 (A2) and Junction 30 (A13)
• close all the slip and link roads to and from that stretch
• run contraflows either way between the movable barriers north and south of the crossing
• impose a 4.8m height restriction when the west bore is closed
• impose a 50mph limit on both carriageways between Junction 2 and Junction 30

The maximum nightly windows are:

• Sunday to Thursday, 8.30pm to 6am
• Friday and Saturday, 8pm to 10am

Diversions will use the opposite tunnel bore, other A282 junctions, or the M25, A2, A13 and A102. The order covers bridge and tunnel works, electrical works, surveys and inspections. Those windows are the most the order allows, not a plan for every night: the actual nights are the ones on the project page above. Our full story sets out what it replaces.

Brentlands Drive and Princes View

Neither is a night job and neither is on the crossing, which is why they catch residents out.

Kent County Council made an order closing Brentlands Drive and Princes View, DA1 1RT, for their entire lengths, for gas main replacement:

• Brentlands Drive closed on 7 September, with completion estimated by 5 October
• Princes View closed on Monday 21 September, with completion estimated by 12 October

(Kent County Council notice, dated 4 September 2026)

Both estimated finish dates have now passed. Our check of the Public Notice Portal on Wednesday 11 November found no notice extending the order, but we have no public confirmation that either road has reopened either. Those were the council’s estimates, not confirmed reopening dates, so allow for the work running on. The notice says “There are no alternative routes but access will be maintained when safe to do so.”

Hythe Street and Orchard Street: closed to May 2028

The biggest local change is in the town centre. Kent County Council has now made the order closing Hythe Street and Orchard Street on or after Thursday 29 October, until 31 May 2028 or until the works are finished. Its notice is dated 23 October and gives the reason as “regeneration and carriageway resurfacing works” (Kent County Council notice, dated 23 October 2026). The 9 October notice had only said the council intended to make it.

• Hythe Street closes from Spital Street to the A226 Westgate, with no parking between Suffolk Road and Kia Kebab
• Orchard Street closes from Spital Street to Hythe Street, with no parking
• the one-way is suspended on both streets
• the signed route for Hythe Street is the A226 Home Gardens and Suffolk Road; for Orchard Street it is Spital Street and Hythe Street

The order is a ceiling, not a promise that the street is shut every day until 2028, and “on or after” means the start can still slip. The council’s report to its Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 10 November says the Hythe Street proposals are out to tender, with “substantive works due to take place in 2027”. It also says Spital Street is finished, apart from minor snagging. The work is the council’s £3.225m Hythe Street rebuild, which we reported in September; our story on the closure has the detail.

Kent County Council: the other closures

Kent County Council’s newest Dartford batch is still the one dated 6 November. It holds one closure: the made Brakefield Road order, for Thursday 12 November. The two batches before it are dated 23 October and 30 October (published early, on 29 October). We checked on 11 November. With the town centre closure above, these are the street closures due in the next three weeks:

The Shepherds Lane order is still intended, so its date can move. Each date is “on or after”, so a closure can start later than listed. Brakefield Road sits in Southfleet, about five miles south-east of Dartford in Gravesham borough, but Kent lists it under its Dartford highway area.

The three-night A225 Hawley Road closure under the M25 bridge, from 2 November, has reached the end of its permitted dates.

Just over the border: Horton Kirby and Hextable

Two closures in Kent’s Sevenoaks batch, dated 6 November, sit a few miles south of Dartford. Both orders are intended, so the dates can move (Kent County Council notice):

• Franks Lane, Horton Kirby: on or after Monday 23 November, for up to 12 days, for Openreach works. Diversion via Eglantine Lane, the A20 London Road and the A225 Dartford Road
• Fens Way, Hextable: on or after Monday 23 November, for up to a day, for UK Power Networks. Diversion via Lower Road and Midfield Avenue

Parking changes now in force

Kent made a separate order on 5 November that took effect on Friday 6 November (Kent County Council notice). In Dartford it changes:

• Spital Street: the disabled bay outside 17A is cut by 16.8 metres and that length becomes a goods loading bay, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6.30pm
• Lowfield Street: a paid bay on the west side, from number 31, becomes a restricted parking zone for 11 metres
• Anne of Cleves Road: a permit bay by number 73 becomes a disabled permit bay
• Providence Street: a 6-metre permit bay by The Haven goes
• Riverview Road: the permit bay outside number 29 goes, for a new dropped kerb
• Main Road: a 15-metre limited waiting bay east of Langafel Close, Monday to Saturday, 10am to 2pm, three hours, no return within an hour

The order also updates the clearway and other restrictions on St Clements Way and the A255 Bean Road, because of the new road layout there.

Summerhill Road: two-way traffic proposed

A separate notice proposes a permanent change. Kent County Council wants to revoke the one-way on two short stretches of Summerhill Road in Dartford and allow traffic both ways:

• from a point 10 metres north of Miskin Road to Trinity Gardens
• from a point 8 metres east of Trinity Gardens

Objections had to explain the impact on traffic to count. They closed at 12 noon on Monday 19 October, through the council’s highways consultations page (Kent County Council notice).

Resurfacing: eight local roads, dates signed on site

Kent County Council’s proposal covering 18 months of carriageway patching and surface treatment took effect on or after Monday 21 September 2026. Where crews are working, the speed limit drops to 40mph on the approach and 20mph through the site, and the 20mph stays for up to seven days after the work finishes. A second order lets the council close each road to through traffic while it works (Kent County Council notice).

Eight stretches are listed under the council’s Dartford area:

• Darenth Road, Dartford, East Hill to Dene Road. Diversion via the A226 East Hill, A296 Park Road, A225 Princes Road
• Wellcome Avenue, Dartford, Trevithick Drive to Sharp Way. Diversion via Trevithick Drive
• Stone Place Road and Church Hill, Greenhithe, the A226 London Road to Elizabeth Street. Diversion via the A226 London Road, Cotton Lane and Elizabeth Street
• Arnolds Lane and Clement Street, Sutton-at-Hone, the A225 Main Road to the bridge over the M25. A long diversion via Ship Lane, Swanley Village Road and the B258 Main Road
• Bramble Avenue, Bean, Beacon Drive to Stonewood. Diversion via Beacon Drive and Stonewood
• Pescot Avenue, Longfield, New Barn Road to The Drive. No alternative route on the adopted highway network
• Joydens Wood Road, Summerhouse Drive to Tile Kiln Lane. No alternative route on the adopted highway network
• Park Corner Road, Southfleet, Station Road to Foxhounds Lane. Diversion via Station Road and Foxhounds Lane

Two of the eight are outside Dartford borough. The council’s highway area is not the same shape as the council area: its own notice labels Joydens Wood Road as Bexley, and Southfleet sits in Gravesham.

No individual dates are published. The order says the programme runs for up to 18 months, that dates will be published in advance, and that signs will go up on site 14 days before work starts on each road. Watch for the signs rather than the calendar.

Trains: Charing Cross shut 14 and 15 November, Lewisham 21 and 22 November

To Friday 13 November, from 00:10 until the end of service, accessible buses replace trains between Lewisham and Dartford via Bexleyheath, and trains are diverted via Sidcup instead (Southeastern notice for 12 November).

Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November are the big weekend. Southeastern says no trains run to or from London Charing Cross, Waterloo East or Cannon Street on either day, while work goes on between those stations and New Cross. For Dartford:

• Saturday: Charing Cross to Dartford trains do not run, and Cannon Street to Dartford via Woolwich Arsenal does not run. London Bridge to Dartford via Greenwich gets extra trains, and the Sidcup line runs a reduced two trains an hour
• Sunday: a second closure puts buses between Lewisham and Sidcup, so Sidcup line trains run only between Sidcup and Dartford, two an hour. Victoria to Dartford via Bexleyheath runs normally, every 30 minutes, and the Greenwich line runs to London Bridge, extended to Gravesend
• Charing Cross to Gravesend trains run to and from Victoria on Saturday and do not run on Sunday

London Underground stations can be used at no extra cost that weekend, and the replacement buses will be busy (Southeastern engineering work, notices for 14 November and 15 November, rechecked 11 November).

Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November: no trains via Lewisham

The following weekend, Southeastern says no services run via Lewisham on either day, and Lewisham station is closed. For Dartford:

• Bexleyheath line: closed all weekend. Victoria to Dartford and Gravesend trains do not run, and Charing Cross to Dartford via Bexleyheath does not run on Saturday
• Buses run between New Cross and Dartford via Bexleyheath, calling at all stations. Bexleyheath and Barnehurst stations are served by bus only
• Sidcup line: Charing Cross to Dartford trains run but do not stop at Lewisham
• Sunday 22 November: no Thameslink trains run between Gravesend and Rainham (Kent), and Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham stations are closed for the day

(Southeastern notices for 21 November and 22 November)

Further ahead: Sunday 29 November, Dartford station shut

Southeastern says no trains will run to, from or via Dartford on Sunday 29 November. Albany Park, Bexley, Crayford, Dartford, Stone Crossing, Greenhithe for Bluewater, Swanscombe and Northfleet are all closed for the day, served by accessible buses between Slade Green and Gravesend and between Sidcup and Dartford. Victoria to Dartford via Bexleyheath does not run, and no Southeastern trains run to or from Victoria at all that day. Tickets are accepted on Southeastern trains between London Bridge and Slade Green (Southeastern notice for 29 November).

What it means for you

Driving north on a weeknight. The west tunnel shuts every weeknight to 20 November from 9pm. If you join at Junction 1a, that slip road shuts with it.

Driving north on a Sunday night. On 15 and 22 November it is the east tunnel, from 10.30pm, with no northbound access over 4.8m.

Driving south on Saturday 21 November. The QEII Bridge shuts from 10pm until 6am, so allow for a diversion.

Driving south this week. The A282 from Junction 1a to Junction 2 and the M25 anticlockwise from Junction 3 to Junction 2 both shut from 10pm every night to Friday 13 November.

Heading for the M20 or M25 south. Expect 40mph through the Swanley Interchange while the signal work runs, and A20 closures there on the night of Monday 16 November.

If you use Hythe Street or Orchard Street. The closure order runs to May 2028, with the parking along them suspended.

Coming home late this week. After about midnight to Friday 13 November, the Bexleyheath line is buses between Lewisham and Dartford.

Going to London on 14 or 15 November. Plan for Victoria, London Bridge or the Tube rather than Charing Cross. On 21 and 22 November avoid the Bexleyheath line and allow for buses. On Sunday 29 November Dartford station itself is shut, so allow for a bus to Slade Green or Sidcup. Christmas and New Year closures are on our Christmas trains page.

The Dart Charge: what crossing costs

Share this chartFacebookWhatsAppXCopy linkEmbed

The charge applies 6am to 10pm every day of the year, bank holidays included, and crossings between 10pm and 6am are free (GOV.UK). Every crossing closure listed above falls inside the free window.

A car pays £3.50 per crossing, or £2.80 with a free pre-pay account; motorcycles are free, two-axle goods vehicles pay £4.20 (£3.60 with an account) and vehicles with more than two axles £8.40 (£7.20) (Dart Charge rates). You must pay by midnight the day after you cross or a penalty charge follows.

The deal most locals still miss: the resident discount. People living in the Dartford and Thurrock council areas can pay £25 a year for unlimited crossings, or £12.50 a year for 50 crossings (Dart Charge rates). If you cross more than seven times a year, the £25 option already beats paying per trip.

Why the crossing struggles: the numbers

The crossing was designed for 135,000 vehicles a day. National Highways now puts the figure at more than 180,000 a day, over 50 million a year, and almost 40% of that is freight. At peak times a tunnel is briefly closed on average every 15 minutes to escort dangerous loads through, which the agency says adds up to the equivalent of 27 days of closures a year (National Highways). That is why one broken-down lorry at Junction 1a can back traffic up through the town within minutes, and why overnight works that overrun have produced six-mile tailbacks on the A282 (KentOnline).

Junctions 1a and 1b: yellow-box cameras coming

Kent County Council calls congestion on the A282 at Junctions 1a and 1b “a daily occurrence” and, after a consultation that ran from December 2025 to February 2026, confirmed in March 2026 that it will install ANPR enforcement cameras on six yellow-box junctions, four at Junction 1a and two at Junction 1b, with installation during 2026 (Kent County Council). Once live, blocking those boxes will mean a penalty notice, so leave the exit clear even in crawling traffic.

The Lower Thames Crossing: where it actually stands

The long-promised relief road east of Gravesend was granted development consent on 25 March 2025, and the Government announced funding for it on 16 June 2025 (National Highways). Early work began in March 2026: archaeology near Coalhouse Fort, ground investigations, habitat creation and site compounds near East Tilbury and at Thong near Gravesend. Main construction and tunnelling are due to start in 2028, with the road opening in the early to mid 2030s (National Highways). Until then, the Dartford Crossing carries on as the only Thames road crossing east of London, so the maintenance cycle above is a fact of life here for years yet.

Getting around it: buses, trains and station parking

Fastrack is the borough’s segregated rapid bus network, operated by Go-Ahead. Route A links Dartford town centre with Temple Hill, The Bridge, Crossways, Greenhithe station and Bluewater roughly every 12 minutes during the day. Route B runs from Dartford via Darent Valley Hospital, Bluewater, Castle Hill and Ebbsfleet International through to Gravesend, from about 5.15am to 11pm (Route A timetable, Route B timetable). When the A282 is stationary, Fastrack’s bus-only sections are usually the quickest way to Bluewater or the hospital.

For the train instead, Dartford has direct services to five London terminals. Times, fares and the last trains home are in our Dartford to London trains guide. If you drive to the station, the Hythe Street car park (194 spaces) is run by APCOA: daily rates run £9.00 to £9.50 on weekdays (£7.20 Saturday, £4.80 Sunday), with a weekly ticket at £38.50 and an annual season at £1,520 (APCOA). Town-centre alternatives and on-street rules are in our parking in Dartford guide.
