Road closures: nine for Wealden drivers this week

Drivers in and around Wealden will have nine 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 less than 10 minutes.

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

• A27, from 7pm July 9 to 6am July 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 Lewes Road eastbound and westbound, Burge Lane to The Street, temporary traffic signals for Virgin media.

• A27, from 9.07am July 7 to 11.59pm July 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 Lewes Road eastbound and westbound, Folkington Road to Wilmington, temporary traffic signals for water leak repair.

• A27, from 8pm July 4 to 6am July 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Folkington Road to Milton Street, carriageway closure for major highway improvement works, diversion via local authority and National Highways network.

• 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 four closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A27, from 9am July 11 to 4pm July 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 northbound and southbound, Polegate, lane closures for major highway improvement works.

• A27, from 8pm July 13 to 6am July 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Pevensey, temporary traffic signals for drainage works.

• A26, from 7pm July 18 to 6am July 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A26 southbound and northbound and A27 eastbound and westbound, Newhaven to Polegate, diversion route for off network closure of A259 East Dean Road for resurfacing works for East Sussex Highways.

• A27, from 8pm July 18 to 6am July 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Drusillas to Alciston, temporary traffic signals for drainage works.

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