Most of the B2109 has been eaten up by the extension of the A26 from Lewes, and the route now comprises just two short link roads in Newhaven.
In 1922 the B2109 was the short link road between the then-B259 (now A259) and the Harbour railway station (now known as Newhaven Marine and closed in practice if not in theory). The southern half of this road is now unclassified as the Marine station no longer needs a classified road running to it (or indeed any form of public access).
The B2109 was extended along previously unclassified roads north of the A259 (following a short multiplex east along it) before 1932. The road went through South Heighton to end on the A274 (now A27) at Beddingham. However, most of this road was taken over by a southern extension of the A26 leaving only the half-mile or so through Mount Pleasant.
