Map of works areas
When do they start?
Works will be carried out on Wednesday 29 October 2025 between 9:30am and 3:30pm and then returning from 8pm to 4am. The road will be fully re-opened outside of these times.
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 targeted patch repairs to the carriageway, kerb repairs and replacing the road markings.
How will this impact highway users?
The works will be carried out in two phases:
9:30am – 3:30pm - we will be working from the junction of Saltcote Lane to Hilltop Drive. The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place for the duration of these works.
8pm – 4am - we will be working between New England Lane and Military Road. Access will be restricted to residents while we are working, with traffic diverted westbound via A268, A259, A2101, A21, A28, A268 and vice versa and eastbound via A259, B2080, Military Road.
If you need vehicle 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 slight delay while we make it safe for you to pass, and your vehicle is escorted by site marshalls. 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.
Public Transport: Local bus services have been informed of these works and will be diverted.
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. 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.
