Cooden Sea Road, Bexhill, will be closed for 24 hours a day starting on Thursday, March 14.

Due to the high volume of traffic on the road, East Sussex Highways said a more extensive repair is required to keep it in a better condition for longer.

Highways said this type of repair takes longer than standard resurfacing which is why the road will be closed for four weeks.

The road will be closed to through traffic from north of Popps Lane to Withyham Road.

Access for residents in adjacent roads will be maintained.

Businesses will be open as usual and access to Cooden Beach Hotel and the railway station will be maintained via Cooden Drive.

Traffic will be diverted via A259 Little Common Road, A269 London Road, Buckhurst Place, Sackvile Road, Wickham Avenue, Cooden Drive and vice versa.
