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 traffic signal upgrades at the crossing of the Cuckoo Trail on the A271 Upper Horsebridge.
These works are being carried out as part of a programme of replacements across the County for sites that have come to the end of their life or have parts that cannot be sourced.
When do they start?
Work will start on Monday 5 February and continue until Friday 1 March. 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 replacing the signals, controllers and detectors to improve performance and reliability. Updating these traffic signals assists in the maintenance of a reliable network that provides a safe environment for all road users, aswell as being cost effective throughout its life span.
How will this impact highway users?
The road will remain open to through traffic with temporary traffic signals in place for the duration of the works.
The team will be onsite between 7am and 4pm each day.
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.
