The carriageway works which had been taking place in Buckhurst Road, Bexhill, since Monday, August 20, were due to last for three weeks.

However, on Tuesday, the works were delayed after East Sussex Highways workers came across a gas pipe under the road which required Southern Gas Networks to be on site to do the work. Despite the setback, the council said work was expected to finish as planned.
