There will be a lane closure in place on the southbound carriageway one night during the week to allow repairs to the central reservation, details of which will be publicised when confirmed.”
The spokesperson added, “By carrying out the work overnight, we hope to minimise disruption to motorists using this busy road.
“We appreciate that there may still be some disruption but would ask people to bear with us as the result of the work will be a smoother and safer road surface.”
During road closures, traffic will be diverted via A259 Seaside, Whitley Road, Lewes Road, Kings Drive, Rodmill Roundabout and Cross Levels Way.
