SUSSEX motorists will have four road closures to avoid on the National Highways network this week.

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 8pm February 28 to 6am April 1: A27 eastbound and westbound, Holmbush to Hangleton, carriageway closure for tunnel maintenance, diversion via local authority network.

• A26, from 8pm February 28 to 6am April 9: A27 eastbound and westbound, Falmer, carriageway closure, slip road closures, and lane closures for drainage works, diversion via local authority network.

• A26, from 8pm March 7 to 6am March 26: A26 in Newhaven will be closed between the A27 Beddingham roundabout and the A259 on all weeknights.

A further closure will begin over the next seven days:

• A27, from 7am to 3pm on March 19: A27 eastbound and westbound, Patcham to Falmer, Lane closures for centre reservation barrier removal for abnormal load.

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