Overnight closures would take place between 8pm and 6am (maximum period) for the purpose of installing and removing inside lane closure and speed limit signage only.

All associated slip roads and side roads joining the A27 in this section will also be closed overnight.

There will also be a 24-hour closure of lay-bys adjacent to the carriageway, as well as a 50mph speed limit along the affected stretch.

Works will be carried out by contractors on behalf of Landbuild.

These measures would be in the interests of road safety while contractors working on behalf of Landbuild undertake survey, civils and carriageway works take place.

Traffic will be diverted via the A27, A270, A23, A259 and A26.

During the period, the usual 7.5 tonne weight limit will be temporarily lifted at Peacehaven to allow for the diversion.

Access to properties within the closure will remain available under works control.

National Highways has stated the order comes into force on April 11, 2026 and will remain in place until works are completed by May 13, 2026.
