Drivers are warned they face delays from Monday as work starts on upgrading a pedestrian crossing.
Engineers from the Highways Agency are converting a pelican crossing on the A259 at Little Common, Bexhill, into a puffin crossing.
The improvement will give pedestrians more time to cross the road safely.
The new crossing has a sensor to identify pedestrians waiting at the traffic lights and this allows the crossing to respond quickly to people wanting to cross.
When a pedestrian reaches the other side the traffic lights turn green, reducing the waiting time for drivers.
Work will be carried out during the day and overnight with workers operating a stop and go board to manage traffic flow.
Work will take place between 9.30am and 4pm and between 7.30pm and 5am.
A 30mph speed limit will operate during the work, which is expected to last until March 30.
