There will be work between the junctions of Jevington Road and Michel Dene Road between 9pm and 4.30am.

A spokesperson for East Sussex Highways added: “The road will be closed to through traffic with a diversion route in place via the A259, A26, A27, A2270, A259 & vice versa.

“If you’re a resident and need vehicle access, please speak with the team on site. Please be aware, there may be a delay while we make the area safe, and your vehicle is escorted by site marshalls. There will be no through road for vehicles.

"There will be no access for public transport through the closure area. Impacted bus services will be providing shuttle services.

“We will put out ‘no parking’ signs and cones on the site to advise where parking is restricted. Please avoid parking in these locations as it will delay our works.

“Properties close to the carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.”
