A record number of East Sussex roads will be given a new lease of life with this year’s programme of pothole-preventing work.
More than 40 miles of roads have been included in East Sussex Highways’ surface dressing programme which begins in June, more than double previous years.
It follows a significant investment in the county’s road patching last year to ensure those most in need of repair were ready for surface dressing.
This year, an additional surface seal will be applied to 25 sites in residential and high traffic areas. This will help the dressing bed in and will help to prevent loose chippings.
Roads will be closed while the work is carried out with signed diversion routes in place. A temporary speed limit on 20mph will be in place following works for the safety of motorists.
