Road closures: almost a dozen for Rother drivers this week

Drivers in and around Rother will have 11 National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A259, from 8pm September 2 to 6am September 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A259 eastbound and westbound, Little Common Roundabout to Stone Underbridge, Portable traffic signals for Openreach.

• A259, from 8pm September 2 to 6am September 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A259 eastbound and westbound, Main Road Icklesham, portable traffic signal works for Openreach.
