The section of road, just south of the Seaford College entrance, had been closed for safety reasons following a slippage of earth over a culvert that spans beneath the carriageway.

Repair work done to the A285 included: Gabion baskets being positioned at the foot of the bank to strengthen the overall integrity of the structure, repairs to the culverts, protecting utilities, including a fresh water mains supply, reconstruction of the carriageway and an installation of new safety barriers on both sides of the carriageway.
