Multiple refreshment works to take place on road in Eastbourne

As part of East Sussex Highways goal to ‘manage the highways service across East Sussex’ refreshment works will be taking place between Willingdon Road and Kings Drive.

These works, starting between 7pm and 6am on Monday, April 14 and Tuesday, April 15, will involve applying a layer of coloured, high friction surface material to the existing carriageway to reduce the skid risk of the surface.

East Sussex Highways will also be installing a new school warning sign and refreshing the road markings.

Access to the road will be restricted for residents for the duration of works, with traffic being diverted via via Kings Drive, Willington Roundabout, Willingdon Road, Park Avenue and vice versa.

A spokesperson for East Sussex Highways added: “We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption this work may cause, however this forms part of our continuing improvement for the East Sussex highway network.”

In addition to these works East Sussex Highways will be installing dropped pedestrian kerbs on Dittons Road, Priory Road and Spring Lodge Close.

Work began on Priory Road and Spring Lodge Close on Monday, April 7 and is set to be completed on Thursday, April 17.
