Lewes road closures: seven for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

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

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing waits of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that seven closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A26, from 8pm November 20 to 6am November 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A26 both directions Beddingham to Newhaven, traffic signals 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.
