A259 overnight closures set to take place for a few more days

The works by East Sussex County Council are taking place for carriageway patching and to repair cracks in the road.

This is scheduled to take place from 8pm to 4.30am every night up until Saturday, April 20 between the junction of The Highway and the Links Avenue junction.
