Map of works area
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highway service across East Sussex. As part of this, we will be carrying out upgrade works to traffic signals on the A259 The Drove, Newhaven.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 4 November 2024 to Friday 22 November 2024 between 8am and 4pm.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
These works involve removal of the current signalised pedestrian crossing, followed by the installation of a new, upgraded crossing and traffic signals.
This work forms part of a county wide programme of replacement for sites that have reached the point of uneconomical repair or are have parts that can no longer be replaced.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working in the vicinity of the McKinlay Way roundabout.
There will be temporary traffic signals and a lane closure in place whilst the work is undertaken however the team will remove these wherever possible to minimise disruption to road users. An alternative pedestrian crossing will be provided.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: 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 work.
Weather: All of these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress of the works.
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.
Permit Reference: EA44443877345-02
