Road closures: seven for Rother drivers this week

Drivers in and around Rother will have seven 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 seven closures are due to start this week:

• A259, from 7pm August 22 to 6am August 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A259 eastbound and westbound, Rye to Winchelsea, temporary traffic lights for BT works.

• A259, from 8pm August 22 to 6am August 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A259 both directions Little Common roundabout to Broadoak lane, carriageway closure for maintenance works.

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