When work first started there were signs all over the place saying that Station street would be closed for 6 weeks. After that there were no countdown notices so thankyou "lewes born and bred" that is great news.

Yes the signs said 5 weeks but without a start are finish date so who knows.

The advance warning signs said from 15/9/14 for 5 weeks, so they're bang on target.
Mind you, I suspect that they add a bit of extra time to these estimates in case they run into problems,

Not to traffic it hasn't, it's been open to pedestrians but not cars.

I have driven up it every evening on my way home, 'Lewes born and bred' you obviously didn't realise you could,

I stopped and asked on my way past on Thursday; the chap told me that they would be resurfacing today (Sunday) and reopening tomorrow. The heavy plant is certainly ready to go, but I was disappointed to see no sign of work at all when I went past around midday. I'll be delighted to see the traffic flow restored.

Forum user...this is the message that was on the ESCC website
The road will be closed for 24 hours a day, with limited access available for deliveries and private access. However, pedestrians will continue to be able to access businesses in Station Street while the works are carried out.
So you have been driving up it? Obviously you didn't realise you couldn't.

Apparently, the planing machine has developed a fault and the surfacing work will be done next Sunday 26th. The road will be open as promised tomorrow, but will be closed next Sunday.
