## 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.

Council Website:
