Jersey St, Brighton closed due to scaffolding

JERSEY STREET in Brighton is set to be closed for an extended period of time as scaffolding is erected for maintenance work. The closure, which began on 09 August 2026 at midnight, is expected to last until 20 September 2026 at midnight. The affected stretch of JERSEY STREET runs through the city, with motorists advised to plan their journeys accordingly.

The highway authority responsible for managing the work is Brighton & Hove City Council. Residents and commuters in the area have been informed of the necessary roadworks, which will undoubtedly cause some inconvenience during this period. Drivers are urged to use alternative routes and check traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for the latest updates on traffic conditions.

The scaffolding work is a necessary maintenance project to ensure the structural integrity of the surrounding buildings. While the exact nature of the work was not specified, it is clear that the council is taking proactive steps to address potential issues before they become major problems.

Motorists are advised to factor in extra time for their journeys and consider using alternative routes to avoid the affected area. This may involve taking a slight detour, but it will undoubtedly help to reduce congestion and minimize delays. It is also a good idea to check traffic apps regularly for updates on traffic conditions, as this will help to ensure a smooth and stress-free journey.

While the closure is set to last for several weeks, it is not a complete closure, and residents and businesses in the area will still have access to JERSEY STREET. However, drivers are advised to exercise caution when navigating the area, as there may be restricted access and reduced visibility.

In addition to checking traffic apps, drivers can also use the official Brighton & Hove City Council website for updates on the roadworks and any necessary diversions. This will provide the most up-to-date information on the project's progress and any changes to traffic conditions.
