North St. closure set to slow the city down

One of Brighton’s busiest roads is due to close for eight weeks for resurfacing works.

Southern Water is resurfacing the road from the Clock Tower to just before East Street.

Brighton and Hove Buses said that it was putting diversions in place, designed to reduce disruption to customers’ journeys, but highlighted another significant set of roadworks in Lewes Road near The Level.

The company said: “The eight-week closure of North Street during road repair work, to be carried out by Southern Water, will coincide with city council work already started to improve safety at the Lewes Road, Elm Grove and Union Road junction that is expected to last a few months.”
