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 refreshing the road markings at the junctions of the A267, Mayfield Road & A272 Summer Hill, Five Ashes.
When do they start?
Work be will carried out on Wednesday 12 August 2026, 7pm - 6am.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
How will this impact highway users?
We’ll be working at the junctions of the A267, Mayfield Road & A272, Summer Hill, Five Ashes.
The A267, Mayfield Road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place.
However the A272, Summer Hill junction will be closed to through traffic with a diversion route in place via A267, Bunny Lane, A26, A272 and vice versa.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
For safety, access to properties within the works area will be limited and managed during our working hours. If you need access, please speak to the team on site, as arrangements and routes may change as work progresses. Please bear in mind, there could also be a delay while the area is made safe for you to pass and your vehicle may be escorted by site marshalls. This is for properties with direct access within the closure area only and there will be no through route.
Please be polite and respectful to the site teams, they are working to keep everyone safe.
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.
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.
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.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
