Resurfacing work at A27 Cophall Farm roundabout
Road users on the A27 near Polegate in East Sussex will benefit from a smoother carriageway as a result of resurfacing work at the Cophall Farm roundabout starting on Monday 8 September.
The work will increase safety for road users, provide a smoother carriageway route along the A27 and reduce the need for emergency repairs.
Bob Coram, Highways Agency Route Manager said:
Safety is a top priority for the Highways Agency and this resurfacing work will provide a smoother and safer journey for the thousands of drivers using this junction every day.
The work will take eleven days and will require full carriageway closures, overnight between 8pm and 6am, when the traffic flow is at its lowest. On Monday 8 September and Sunday 14 September overnight closures will be in place between 10pm and 6am and will require the closure of access to the petrol station and McDonald’s restaurant at Polegate Services.
Clearly signed diversion routes will be in place throughout the closure as follows:

London-bound road users using the A27/A22 will be diverted via the A2270, A22, Kings Drive, Cross Levels Way and the B2104. Eastbound road users will be diverted via the A2270, Kings Drive, Cross Levels Way and the A22.
- Tuesday 9 September, Wednesday 10 September and Saturday 13 September:
