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 highway maintenance and improvements to the carriageway on the A264, Holtye.

When do they start?

Work will be carried out from 8pm on Monday 9 December 2024 to 6am on Tuesday 10 December 2024.

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 applying a layer of coloured, high friction surface material to the existing carriageway to reduce the risk of skidding, and painting new road markings.  

How will this impact highway users?

The team will working between Cinder Wood and Peters Wood.  

Access to the road will be restricted to residents only. Traffic will be diverted via Holtye Road, Blackwell Road, Cranston Road, Moat Road, Beeching Way, A22, London Road, Lewes Road, Hartfield Road, Cat Street, Gallipot Hill, High Street, B2026, A264 and vice versa.

If you need vehicle access to your property, please discuss this with the team on site. There may be a short delay while we make the area safe and you will be escorted by site marshalls. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

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 works.

Waste collection: Access will be granted for any waste collections.

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 they may be flashing lights and reversing sirens.
