A21 project making 'significant progress' - council
East Sussex HighwaysA council agency has claimed that the Queensway Gateway Road project in Hastings has made significant progress, despite what it called "technical challenges".
East Sussex Highways said it had completed vegetation clearance, streetlighting installation, landscaping, and built a splinter island on the A21 Sedlescombe Road North.
It said temporary traffic lights on the A road would be removed for "smoother traffic flow" over Easter and early May, with work ongoing on Junction Road and Beauharrow Cycle Path.
Some local people have expressed their anger and frustration on social media at the roadworks and closures.
The lights will be reinstated at a reduced length on the road from 5 May, East Sussex Highways added.
Road closures were scheduled between Dunelm and the A28 on 16 April, 5, 22 and 27 May.
It said in March the final phase of the major highway improvement scheme, which started in September, was almost complete.
East Sussex Highways has been working with Balfour Beatty Living Places to carry out works to connect Queensway Gateway to the A21 Sedlescombe Road North to improve traffic flow.
The entire Queensway Gateway project was originally expected to be completed by 2016.
