Road closures: eight for Wealden drivers this week

Drivers in and around Wealden will have eight National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A27, from 7pm March 21 to 6am May 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Berwick to Polegate, temporary traffic signals for major highway improvement works.

• A27, from 7pm April 2 to 6am June 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Bo Peep Lane to Druscillas roundabout, diversion route for closure of Station Road for highway improvement works.

• A27, from 7am February 21 to 5pm October 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 westbound, Polegate to Berwick, layby closure for major highway improvement works.

And a further five closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A27, from 8pm May 23 to 6am June 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Folkington Lane to Milton Street, carriageway closure for major highway improvement works, diversion via local authority network.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
