Wealden road closures: seven for motorists to avoid this week

Wealden's motorists will have seven road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are 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 9am March 21 to 4pm April 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 northbound and southbound, Polegate to Cophall, lane closures for major highway improvement works.

• A27, from 7pm March 21 to 6am May 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Berwick to Polegate, temporary traffic signals for major 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 four closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A27, from 9pm March 31 to 6am April 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Lewes Road Lewes, portable signal works for Openreach.

• 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 8pm April 5 to 5am April 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 northbound, Wilmington to Polegate, Lane closure for emergency barrier repair.

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