Road closures: dozens for Rother drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Rother will have 24 National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that seven closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:
