Roadworks on The Ridge to last 11 weeks

East Sussex Highways said the crossing will be constructed adjacent to Hastings Court care home.

The works will start on Monday, January 25, and continue for up to 11 weeks.

During these works, a bus stop adjacent to Saint Helen’s Church for westbound services will also be constructed.

East Sussex Highways confirmed The Ridge will remain open throughout the 11 weeks but there will be temporary traffic lights in place.

The works are likely to cause delays for westbound traffic travelling to Conquest Hospital and the Hastings Centre, where vaccines are currently being rolled out.

Chowns Hill will be closed for the duration of the works between The Ridge and Denehurst Gardens.

There will be a diversion in place along The Ridge, Old London Road, Rye Road, Rock Lane, and Ivyhouse Lane.

The bus stop at the junction of Chowns Hill and The Ridge will be suspended for the duration of the works.
