A259 King's Road temporary closure - update

An update on the temporary road closure of the A259 King's Road.

Councillor Trevor Muten, Cabinet member for Transport, Parking and Public Realm said: “The A259 King’s Road remains closed between Aquarium roundabout and East Street in both directions to traffic and will be so for at least the next couple of days. The pavement and cycle lanes to the south of the road remain open.

“Our priority remains the safety of the public, but we recognise and apologise for the inconvenience and delays the closure is causing. We thank people for their continued patience.

“We’re doing everything we can to support Britannia Hotels and their contractor to get this work done quickly so we can reopen the road as soon as possible. We have also asked them to add additional signage to reduce traffic leading up to the road closure.

“We continue to stress to Britannia Hotels the urgency of the situation.

“The council is speaking regularly with organisers of the Brighton Half Marathon to keep them updated.”
