A21 project making 'significant progress'
A 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. Follow BBC Sussex on Facebook, X and Instagram.

Major highway improvement scheme nearing completion
A major highway improvement scheme in Hastings is almost complete. Since last September, 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. Contractors have completed the southern section of kerbing to form a new junction, landscaping and construction of a splitter island in Sedlescombe Road North, while resurfacing will commence soon. Once the work is complete, part of the northbound lane closure will reopen, East Sussex Highways said. "Temporary traffic signals have been installed on The Ridge West, at the junction of Junction Road, so contractors can install bollards and carry out footway works," a spokesperson said. These will be in place 24 hours a day until 14 March, with manual control between 07:00 and 19:00 GMT minimise disruption. Meanwhile, extensive enabling works in Whitworth Road are nearing completion with some high friction surfacing and lining works to complete, along with completion of the cycleway.
