An East Sussex Highways spokesperson said: “We appreciate that this road closure will cause some disruption to motorists, but it is essential to keep the public and workers safe while repairs are carried out.
“Investigations have shown that water has been leaking through the bridge, which can damage the structure and contribute to potholes forming on the road surface.
"Repairing the waterproof membrane and resurfacing will protect the bridge and result in a smoother drive for motorists using this section of road.”
