The Sheppey Way and Kingsferry Bridge on the Isle of Sheppey will be closed again this weekend as a film company returns to finish shooting.
Production company Snowed In created its own real-life drama last month after stranding a number of cyclists when it closed the road to film scenes for the new ITV thriller Too Close starring Emily Watson.

Full of humour and heartbreak, this miniseries stars Tom Hollander (Baptiste), Saskia Reeves (Luther) Tom Taylor (The Dark Tower) and Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing). Connie and Douglas are set for a grand tour of Europe. It’s one last family holiday before their only son Albie leaves for university. But just days before departure, Connie announces she wants a divorce. They nonetheless continue with the trip in some of the world’s most beautiful cities – from Amsterdam and Paris, to Venice and Barcelona. Douglas sees this as a make-or-break chance to win Connie back and restore his troubled relationship with their teenage son. As love takes a detour, will Douglas get his marriage back on track?
