Attention, drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and anyone who simply enjoys a smooth journey—brace yourselves! April is bringing a delightful selection of road closures, diversions, and unexpected detours to keep life exciting. Here’s what to expect:
🔹 1st April 2025 – No, it’s not an April Fool’s joke. Bestmans Lane (U60012) will be closed from the A38 for 360 meters eastward for four days. Why? Because WCC is tackling drainage and flood issues presumably before Kempsey gets its own Venice-style canal system. Info Route
🔹 5th April 2025 – The Nash (C2056) will be off-limits for two days (or somewhere between the 5th and the 15th, for added suspense). The reason? Carriageway patching, because potholes were getting too comfortable. Info Route
🔹 17th April 2025 – Footpath F60036 (between No. 42/44 Church Street) is getting a glow-up! Footway reconstruction begins for 14 days, so pedestrians, start planning your new scenic detour now. Info Route
🔹 28th April 2025 – Old Road South (C2220) will be closed between Pixham Ferry Lane and Meadow Closet for five days. Yes, another drainage and flood alleviation project—because Kempsey is clearly on a mission to stay extra dry this year. Info Route
