    Thanks Mike. I seem to remember this was mentioned in one of the videos in the blog.

    I understand that work on the North Bridge Street Level Crossing will commence on 27th July. I have seen a copy of a letter from the contractor [Road Ways] to local residents.

    Some details are in the public domain at:
    https://one.network/?tmi=GB45400048# The map shows the works location and the diversion route.
    Works description: Working alongside Rother Valley Railway to excavate the carriageway for the installation of a new train track across the carriageway. Ducting works and reinstatement of road and footpath after new tracks installed.

    It gives dates of Jul 27 - Aug 17 with a road closure in place, though I'm not sure if that means the road is closed continuously or only when required.

    And Nov 10th - Dec 11th for Junction Road (diversion not yet shown, and this far out it's quite possible the proposed dates might be provisional).
    https://one.network/?GB151294076

    No dates yet shown for Robertsbridge bypass.

    One would hope that its overnight closures only, 8pm-6am, which has already been a part of the lower A21 scene for so long, now.

    For those interested in the track relaying, a new post has been released by the RVR on their blogspot site detailing what we got upto last week. Wednesday was especially hot and very uncomfortable but made all the more easier by working with a great group of guys. We started near Salehurst working back towards Junction Road, laying over bridge /culvert 20 and stopping just short of bridge / culvert 21.

    makes a change laying track in a new location rather than repairing / upgrading in existing locations on the K&ESR!

    Fantastic effort! And in an unexpected location, too.

    A really excellent drone shot from Trevor Streeter, showing the full extent of the latest tracklaying. Salehurst bridle path top right, bridge 20 at centre.
