Seaford: Farm Close shut

Motorists in the Seaford area are advised to plan alternative routes from tonight, as Farm Close will be closed to allow East Sussex County Council to carry out minor roadworks. The closure will be in place from 12 August 2026, at midnight, and is due to be completed by 14 August 2026.

Farm Close, located near the seaside town of Seaford, is approximately 10 miles east of Brighton. The highway authority, East Sussex County Council, has scheduled the roadworks to take place during the night, to minimize disruption to commuters. However, drivers are urged to be aware of the closure and adjust their travel plans accordingly.

During the closure, drivers may experience delays, especially during peak hours. Those using the A259, which runs through Seaford, may need to take a diversion to avoid the closed section of Farm Close. Motorists are advised to check traffic apps and websites, such as Road Closures UK, for the latest updates and to plan their journey in advance. It is recommended to leave extra time to complete journeys and consider using alternative routes, such as the A27 or A26.

The roadworks are scheduled to take place from tonight until 14 August 2026, when the road will reopen. The closure will be in place for approximately 48 hours, and drivers are asked to be patient and respectful of the highway workers on site.

While the roadworks are relatively minor, they may still cause some disruption to local traffic. Motorists are advised to be aware of the closure and to follow the recommended diversion route. By doing so, they can help to ensure a smooth and safe journey for all road users.
