A20 New Eastern Docks Exit Slip Road
A20 New Eastern Docks Exit Slip Road
The Project
What happened?
Dover Harbour Board built a new slip road from the Eastern Docks onto Townwall Street (A20). This road comes out of the docks on the seaward side of Jubilee Way (A2), by pass the existing 'Dock Exit' roundabout, still on the seaward side, and merge with Townwall Street.
A new sea wall has also been built and the existing promenade has been re-instated a bit further out to sea. The new slip runs from the level of the Eastern Docks to the level of Townwall Street, running between the new promenade and the existing road.
Why were the works undertaken?
To help reduce congestion for local traffic from the A20 Jubilee Way onto the A2 and within the docks.
By allowing A20 bound traffic to leave the port via the new slip road, this traffic will no longer need to use the Eastern Docks roundabout. The existing slip road will continue to provide access to Jubilee Way (A2). The new slip road therefore reduces the pressure on the roundabout ease the flow of traffic into the Port, as well as local traffic.
