This weekend’s verified planning priorities are Sunday’s local rail replacement buses and next week’s overnight road closures.
Local roads – Bexhill, St Leonards and Hastings
A2690 Combe Valley Way – planned closures on 18 and 19 November. Bridge inspections and barrier repairs close the road to through traffic between Haven Brook Avenue roundabout and Queensway from 20:00 to 06:00 each night, finishing at 06:00 on Friday 20 November. The signed diversion uses the A2690, A21, A2102 and A259 in both directions. Property access is limited and managed by the site team; a wait or escort may be necessary. Works are weather dependent. Arrange evening and early-morning collections around the closure. Official scheme notice.
A complete live list of smaller local closures, temporary signals and reopenings could not be verified today. The anticipated Watermill Lane works window ended on 13 November; reopening has not been confirmed, so the earlier notice is not being repeated as an active closure. Check East Sussex Highways’ daily-updated roadworks map or Hastings Council’s roadworks map for your street and confirm that your pickup address can be reached.
Connecting roads – Hurst Green from Monday
C19 Bodiam Road: planned carriageway works run from 16 November to 5 December, 19:00–06:00, between the A21 and B2244 junctions. The road closes to through traffic during working hours, with a signed diversion via the A229, A21 and B2244 in both directions. Access is site-managed only for properties within the closure; it is not a through route. Allow for the diversion if using this corridor north of Battle. Official works notice.
Rail – replacement buses tomorrow, Sunday 15 November
Planned engineering work closes the lines between Polegate and Hastings. Buses replace Southern trains between Polegate and Eastbourne/Hastings/Ore. Separate buses link Normans Bay and Cooden Beach, connecting with Eastbourne–Ore buses at Cooden Beach. Hastings–Ashford International trains run an amended service. Check your exact departure, replacement-bus stop and onward connection; allow extra time for airport or port journeys. National Rail Sunday notice.
Flights, ferries and cruises
Individual UK flight cancellations and Portsmouth or Southampton sailing statuses were not verified for this snapshot. Brittany Ferries’ sailing-update page could not be retrieved. Confirm your flight or sailing directly with the operator before leaving, including the terminal and check-in deadline. Check FCDO destination advice for overseas journeys; conflict or adverse weather alone does not confirm that an individual service is cancelled.
Dated snapshot: conditions can change after the check time above. This is not real-time monitoring. Recheck official road notices and your rail, airline or sailing operator before departure.
