New Dartford Road zebra crossing will soon be completed

Published: 20 February 2026

Construction is now underway on the long-anticipated Dartford Road pedestrian crossing in Sevenoaks, a project initiated by Sevenoaks Town Council. The work, being carried out by Kent County Council during the half-term break, is scheduled for completion on Saturday 21st February.

The new zebra crossing will provide a safer route for pedestrians at this busy junction particularly benefiting students travelling to and from school and commuters heading to Sevenoaks Station.

Delivering a safe crossing at Dartford Road has been a longstanding priority for the Town Council. Sevenoaks Town Council has led on and committed funding towards the delivery of this project since its initial proposal as part of Kent County Council’s 2022 public consultation on the Sevenoaks Town 20mph scheme.

Sevenoaks Town Council has contributed £25,000 towards the project, comprising solely of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) income from local developers. This was met by a further £20,000 from Sevenoaks District Council’s own CIL funds. The remainder of the delivery cost (£55,000) was secured by Kent County Council, via Active Travel England funding.
