Map of works area
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highways service across East Sussex. As part of this, we will be carrying out carriageway improvements on the A259 Bexhill Road, Hastings.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Friday 30 January to Tuesday 3 February 2026 between 8pm and 6am, with no weekend working. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
The works involve restoring grip on the surface by using high-pressure water jets to remove a build-up of material that can make roads slippery. We will also be carrying out targeted patch repairs. This will improve overall skid resistance for road users.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working between Filsham Road and Seaside Road. Access to the road will be restricted to residents for the duration of works, with traffic diverted via the A2102, the A21, Whitworth Road, the A2690, the A2036 and vice versa.
For access, please approach the closure point and speak to the site team. This is for access only and there will be no through route. There may be a short delay while we make it safe for you to pass, and your vehicle will be escorted by site marshals. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: If required, we will put out ‘no parking’ signs and cones on the site to advise where parking is restricted. Please avoid parking in these locations as it will delay our works.
Weather: All of these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress of the works.
Public Transport: Local bus services have been informed of these works and will be diverted.
Waste collection: Access will be granted for any waste collection.
Properties close to the carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption this work may cause, however this forms part of our continuing improvement for the East Sussex highway network. Should you have any concerns regarding these works, you can contact us at eshcomms@balfourbeatty.com.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
