Road closures: seven for Lewes drivers over the next fortnight

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

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing waits of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A26, from 2.13pm October 12 to 5pm October 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A26 northbound and southbound, New Road, temporary traffic lights for South East Water works.

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

• A26, from 8pm October 27 to 6am October 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound, Falmer to Ashcombe roundabout, carriageway closure for bridge works.

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