Local roads – Bexhill, St Leonards and Hastings
A2690 Combe Valley Way – planned overnight closures next week. Bridge inspections and barrier repairs close the stretch between Haven Brook Avenue roundabout and Queensway on 18 and 19 November, 20:00–06:00 each night, finishing at 06:00 on 20 November. The signed diversion uses the A2690, A21, A2102 and A259 in both directions. Property access will be limited and managed by the site team; allow time for an escort or a wait while access is made safe. Weather may affect the programme. East Sussex Highways notice.
Watermill Lane, Bexhill – anticipated works window ends today. The council’s notice of intention gives 9–13 November for water works between Spratts Lane and Haven Brook Avenue. Actual implementation, closure hours and reopening have not been verified, so this is not confirmation that the road is closed or has reopened. The proposed diversion uses the Crowhurst/Catsfield roads, Ballards Hill, Sandrock Hill, Queensway, Combe Valley Way and Haven Brook Avenue in both directions, with property access where possible. Published council notice. The longer legal order window is not the scheduled works duration.
A complete live list of smaller closures and temporary signals across Bexhill, St Leonards and Hastings could not be verified. Check the county’s daily-updated roadworks map and confirm access to your pickup address before departure.
Connecting roads – advance warning north of Battle
C19 Bodiam Road, Hurst Green: planned resurfacing closes the road between the A21 and B2244 during working hours from 16 November to 5 December, 19:00–06:00. The signed diversion uses the A229, A21 and B2244 in both directions. Check this if using the corridor for journeys north of Battle. Official works notice.
Rail – plan ahead for Sunday 15 November
Southern’s planned engineering work replaces trains with buses between Polegate and Eastbourne/Hastings/Ore on Sunday 15 November. Separate buses connect Normans Bay and Cooden Beach, with connections to Eastbourne–Ore buses at Cooden Beach. Hastings–Ashford International trains run an amended service. Check replacement-bus stops and allow extra connection time for airport or port journeys. National Rail Sunday notice.
The evening works programme dated 9–12 November is no longer presented as a current warning. Today’s individual rail service status could not be established from the accessible disruption page: check your train before leaving.
Flights, ferries and cruises
No individual UK flight cancellation or passenger sailing status was verified for this snapshot. Brittany Ferries’ sailing-update page could not be retrieved. Check your airline or Portsmouth/Southampton sailing operator directly for the departure, terminal and check-in deadline before setting off. For overseas travel, consult FCDO destination advice; an ongoing conflict alone does not confirm cancellation of a particular flight.
Dated snapshot: conditions and schedules can change after the check time above. This is not real-time monitoring. Recheck official road notices and your transport operator before departure.
