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 a drainage works on the A275 South Street, South Chailey.
Once completed, these works will aid in alleviating flooding in the area.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 29 July 2024 to Friday 2 August 2024 between 9am and 4pm. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
We’re very sorry for the delay in informing you of these works. We usually aim for a minimum of 2-4 weeks notice period for residents, however on this occasion this has not happened. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.
What are we doing?
These works involve excavations to the highway for the installation of six new gullies and connect them to the underground drainage system.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working from outside the Potteries and continue North along the Kilnwood Lane for approximately 150m.
The road will remain open with temporary traffic signals in place whilst the work is undertaken.
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.
