MAJOR work is underway to improve pathway connections in a park.
A project to connect Dartford's Central Park to Brooklands Lakes by diverting part of river Darent away from a tunnel under Princes road, began earlier this month.
The project which will take around 12 weeks to complete will involve routing part of the Darent Valley path through the tunnel, which will make it more accessible for walkers and cyclists by reducing the need to cross the busy Princes Road.
The project is part of a multi million pound programme commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government to improve the Darent Valley Path's link between Dartford town centre and the river Thames.
Jeremy Kite, leader of Dartford Council said: "These works are significant as they create better links between the Brookland Lakes to and from the town centre.
"The river Darent has been hidden from view for too long and these new pathways make it much easier to walk through to the lakes and beyond."
