A ROAD will be closed at times while month-long essential repair works are carried out.

Drainage and kerb repairs and resurfacing is set to begin on Sea Road at Winchelsea Beach on Tuesday, June 1 and continue until Thursday, July 1.

The road will remain open during the drainage and kerbing work from June 1 until June 14, and temporary traffic lights will be in place.

Resurfacing and targeted patch repairs will begin on June 28 and continue until July 1, with day and overnight road closures.

Sea Road will be closed at the following times:

Monday, June 28: 8am – 5pm

Tuesday, June 29: 8am – 5pm and 8pm – 6am

Wednesday, June 30: 8am – 5pm and 8pm – 6am

Thursday, July 1: 8am – 5pm

The road will be resurfaced from the junction with the A259 to between the junction with Jenny Lane and Old River Way.

Patch repairs will take place from near the eastern access to Old River Way and the entrance to the Winchelsea Sands Holiday Park.

East Sussex County Council said there will still be access to the holiday park and for residents, but delays are likely and the diversion route may need to be followed.

While the road is closed, traffic will be diverted along Battery Hill, Fairlight Road, Rye Road, A259 Winchelsea Road, A259 Main Road, and A259 Tanyard Lane.

Bus routes may be affected and people are advised to check with their bus company on changes to services.
