Wealden road closures: six for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Wealden's motorists will have six 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 10.12pm July 27 to 8am August 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 Selmeston at the, junction of the Street, three-ways temporary traffic signals for South East Water emergency works.

• A259, from 8pm July 24 to 6am August 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A259 eastbound and westbound, Pevensey, temporary traffic lights for Lightning Fibre works.

• A21, from 8pm July 24 to 6am August 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A21 northbound and southbound, Sevenoaks to Hastings, mobile closures for maintenance works.

And a further three closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A259, from 8pm August 7 to 6am August 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A259 eastbound and westbound, Pevensey, temporary traffic lights for Lightning Fibre works.

• A27, from 8pm August 7 to 6am August 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Golden Jubilee roundabout to Cophall roundabout, lane closure for drainage works.

• A27, from 7pm August 10 to 11pm August 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Lewes Road, temporary traffic lights for BT works.

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