The A26 road is one of the two cross-country two-digit numbered roads in the southeast of England. It carries traffic from Maidstone in Kent in a generally south-westerly direction to Newhaven in East Sussex. It begins its journey up the Medway valley to Tonbridge; from there it crosses the Weald through Tunbridge Wells to Uckfield, and thence follows the River Ouse to its mouth at Newhaven, bypassing Lewes by means of a road tunnel.
The road runs for a total distance of some 50 miles (80km) and provides access to the North Kent area and its industrial base with the ferry port of Newhaven. In consequence it has a large Heavy Goods Vehicle usage.
