And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

• A27, from 8pm September 19 to 6am October 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Holmbush to Hangleton, carriageway closure for tunnel maintenance, diversion via local authority network.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
