New bridge over the Medway
Work is to start soon on a new bridge at Holborough giving access from the A228 to a thousand new homes on the east side of the river. We understand that there will be at least 8 metres clearance under the bridge.

I’ve sailed the upper river a couple of times and was planning a further visit next season.
Holborough is barely half way to the head of the sailable river above Rochester, so why only a clearance of 8 metres, better than Milton Creek’s bridge, but this will prevent most sailing craft from venturing into a beautiful part of our tidal waterway without two mast lowerings…
Perhaps I shall have to cherish the last sail, yes sail, up to just below Aylesford Bridge we made some years ago!
