Road Closure: SEASIDE — Brighton

A medium-severity road disruption is expected to affect motorists in East Sussex, as the SEASIDE road in Eastbourne will be subject to roadworks from 18:00 on 19 October 2026 to 06:00 on 24 October 2026. The roadworks, located in the SEASIDE area of Eastbourne, are being carried out by East Sussex County Council, the highway authority responsible for maintaining the region's roads. Drivers travelling to and from Brighton should be aware of the disruption, which may cause delays and congestion in the area.

The roadworks are classified as standard, and while the exact nature of the works is not specified, it is likely that they will involve maintenance or repairs to the road surface. East Sussex County Council has scheduled the works to take place overnight and during the early morning, in an effort to minimize disruption to peak-hour traffic. However, drivers should still expect some delays, particularly during the evening and morning commutes.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and consider using alternative routes to avoid the affected area. Checking traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on traffic conditions is also recommended, as this will help drivers to navigate the area and avoid any congestion. By taking a few simple precautions, drivers can help to minimize the impact of the roadworks and reduce the risk of delays.

East Sussex County Council has not provided any further information on the specific nature of the roadworks, but it is likely that the works are necessary to maintain the safety and condition of the road. The council is responsible for maintaining over 2,000 miles of roads in the county, and carries out regular repairs and maintenance to ensure that the road network remains safe and efficient.

Drivers who are unable to avoid the area should be prepared for delays and congestion, and should allow extra time to complete their journeys. The roadworks are scheduled to be completed by 06:00 on 24 October 2026, and the road will be fully reopened to traffic at this time. In the meantime, motorists can stay up-to-date with the latest traffic information and plan their journeys accordingly.
