Lewes: Queens Rd closed

If you're planning to travel through Lewes tonight, be aware that Queens Road will be closed from 23:00 on 11 August 2026 to 23:00 on 12 August 2026 due to minor roadworks. Located in the heart of Lewes, this busy thoroughfare is a key route for commuters and locals alike, so the closure is likely to cause some disruption.

Queens Road is a vital link between Lewes and the surrounding area, and the closure is being carried out by East Sussex County Council, the local highway authority responsible for maintaining the county's roads. While the reason for the closure is minor, the impact on traffic is likely to be significant, particularly during peak hours.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes to avoid the affected area. Checking traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps can help you navigate around the closure and find the quickest way to your destination. Additionally, you can use online route planners like the AA's Route Planner to find the best alternative routes.

If you do need to use Queens Road during the closure, be prepared for delays and allow plenty of extra time for your journey. Drivers are also advised to follow the diversion signs and follow the instructions of the traffic marshals who will be on site to help direct traffic.

The roadworks are scheduled to take place between 23:00 on 11 August 2026 and 23:00 on 12 August 2026, so it's essential to check for updates before you travel. If you're using a satnav, make sure it's up-to-date with the latest traffic information to avoid getting caught out by the closure.

While the closure is expected to cause some disruption, it's worth noting that the work is necessary to maintain the road and ensure its safety for all users. Once completed, the road will be returned to its usual state, and traffic will be able to flow freely once again.
