The road, which cost £20m to build, has been under construction for two years and included the construction of two bridges, one over Milton Creek and the other over the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway line. Jackson Regional Manager Rupert Chitty said: "This project has been a real technical and engineering challenge, with so many potential problems along the route, so to have succeeded in opening the road on schedule and within the original budget is a huge achievement for the Jackson, Kent and Jacobs site teams who have worked together so well and delivered a project which we are all very proud of."
The project is part of a wider relief road project for Sittingbourne aimed at reducing traffic in the town centre and bringing forward regeneration. Cllr Ben Stokes, Mayor of Swale Borough Council said: "The Eurolink Industrial Estate is vital to local businesses and employs over 6,000 people, so to improve its links with the wider UK road network has been a goal of ours for a number of years."
