Kingsmead Seaford road closed

Motorists in the East Sussex area are advised to plan their journeys carefully as KINGSMEAD, a key route in SEAFORD, is set to undergo minor roadworks from 12 August 2026 at midnight until 14 August 2026 at midnight. The highway authority, EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL, has issued a warning to drivers to expect disruption on this route.

The roadworks are expected to cause medium-level disruption, and drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid the area. Motorists are also encouraged to check traffic apps and websites regularly for updates on traffic conditions and any changes to the roadworks schedule. This will help to ensure that journeys are completed as efficiently as possible.

Roadworks of this nature can cause significant delays, particularly during peak travel times, and drivers are urged to leave plenty of time to reach their destinations. Those who rely on this route for their daily commute or travel should also consider adjusting their schedules or taking alternative modes of transport where possible.

While the roadworks are expected to cause some disruption, they are considered minor and are essential to maintaining the condition and safety of KINGSMEAD. The highway authority is working to complete the works as quickly as possible, but drivers should still be prepared for some delays.

For those who need to use KINGSMEAD during the roadworks, there are several alternative routes available. Drivers can use the A27 or the A259 to bypass the area and reach their destinations. While these routes may add a few minutes to journey times, they can help to avoid the disruption caused by the roadworks.

Drivers are also advised to follow the usual traffic signs and directions provided by traffic management teams, who will be on site to direct traffic and ensure that the roadworks are completed safely and efficiently.
