Map of work areas
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 completing carriageway investigations and improvements on the A28, Brede and Westfield.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out from Monday 27 April to Friday 22 May 2026, with no weekend working. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing and how will this impact highway users?
Brede carriageway improvements: 27 April – 22 May, 8pm – 6am. We will be carrying out targeted carriageway patch repairs and road marking refreshments. We will also be resetting/replacing carriageway covers.
We will be working between Stubb Lane and Doleham Lane. Access will be restricted to residents while we are working, with traffic diverted via the B2089, the A259, the B2093 & vice versa.
Westfield investigation works: 27 April – 3 May, 7pm – 4am. We will be drilling trial holes and core holes 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 larger works which may be required later in the year.
We will be working from 20 metres East of Maplehurst Drive to just past the Moores Lane/Wheel Lane crossroads. The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place for the duration of the works.
For 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 short delay while we make it safe for you to pass, and your vehicle will be escorted by site marshals. 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.
