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

Lewes's motorists will have 12 road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 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 January 28 to 6am January 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 westbound, Ashcombe to Hollingbury, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A26, from 8pm January 2 to 6am February 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27/ A26 both directions Southerham to Glynde, carriageway closure for survey works.
