Road Closure: CHURCH STREET — Brighton

Church Street in Uckfield will be closed from 18 July 2027 at 23:00 to 28 August 2027 at 23:00, affecting motorists travelling through the area. The closure, which is being implemented by East Sussex County Council, is due to major works, categorised as PAA, and is expected to have a medium level of severity. Drivers who regularly use Church Street should plan ahead and consider alternative routes to avoid delays. The nearest city, Brighton, may also be affected, with potential knock-on effects on traffic in the surrounding areas.

The closure is likely to cause disruptions to commuters and residents, particularly during peak hours. East Sussex County Council has planned the works to take place over a period of six weeks, and while the exact nature of the works is not specified, it is clear that they are significant enough to require a full closure of the road. Motorists are advised to check traffic apps and plan their journeys in advance to minimise delays. Alternative routes may include using nearby roads, such as the A22 or A272, although drivers should be aware that these routes may also be busy, especially during rush hour.

East Sussex County Council is responsible for maintaining the roads in the area and has organised the closure to ensure the necessary works can be carried out safely and efficiently. The council has likely planned the works to take place during a period of relatively low traffic volume, but drivers should still expect some disruption. To stay up to date with the latest traffic information, drivers can use online resources, such as traffic apps or websites, to plan their journeys and avoid congested areas.

While the closure may cause some inconvenience, it is essential to remember that the works are being carried out to improve the road network and ensure the safety of all road users. Drivers are advised to be patient and allow extra time for their journeys, especially during the first few days of the closure when traffic patterns may be adjusting to the new layout. By planning ahead and using alternative routes, motorists can help to minimise delays and reduce congestion in the area.
