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 investigations on A265 Heathfield Road, Burwash Common.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 3 March 2025 to Friday 7 March 2025 between 9:30am and 3:30pm.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
The investigation involves multiple holes being drilled at various points in the road to allow for testing of the sub-surface. The results will allow us to determine the condition of the road and the extent of any larger works that may be required later in the year.
How will this impact highway users?
The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place. The team will be working between the junction of Bateman’s Lane and ‘Doels Farm’.
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.
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.
