Road closures: five for Brighton and Hove drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Brighton and Hove will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A27, from 8pm December 4 to 6am December 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Hangleton to Falmer, Slip and lane closures for litter picking.

• A23, from 7am August 7 to 6pm December 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 northbound, Patcham to Pyecombe, Lane closure for vegetation works.

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

• A26, from 8pm December 12 to 6am December 14, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A27 eastbound, Falmer to Ashcombe roundabout, carriageway closure for bridge works.

• A26, from 8pm December 13 to 6am December 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Ashcombe to Beddingham roundabout, lane closures for structural works.

• A27, from 8pm December 18 to 6am December 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 westbound, Devils Dyke to Southwick Tunnel, slip road and lane 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.
