National Highways – A21 Roadworks January-March 2025

Dear Stakeholder

We’ll shortly be carrying out resurfacing works to the A21 between Johns Cross and Westfield Lane.

To carry out these works safely there will be overnight closures to the A21 in both directions from Johns Cross to Westfield lane between the hours of 8pm to 6am weeknights only.

Works will be carried out in two sections to reduce impact to local residents and businesses along the A21.

Section one:

Johns Cross to Sedlescombe Golf Club

  • Monday 3 February to Tuesday 18 March

Section two:

Marley Lane to Westfield Lane

  • Wednesday 19 March to Monday 31 March

Diversions:

Southbound traffic will be diverted onto the A2100, A2690, Mount View Street, Westwood Road, Hastings Road, A259 to rejoin the A21 at Hastings.

Northbound traffic will follow the above diversion in reverse.
