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 carrying out junction and pedestrian improvements on the A259 Denmark Place and A2101 Albert Road, Hastings.
Once completed, safety at the crossing will be improved for pedestrians.
When do they start?
Works will take place from Monday 20 January to Friday 14 March 2025 between 7am and 7pm. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
This forms part of the Local Growth Fund Hastings and Bexhill Movement and Access Package.
The works include:
- Removal of the existing pedestrian islands on each approach to the junction
- Replacement of the traffic signals
- Installation of two new pedestrian islands
- Carriageway surfacing, high friction surfacing and road markings
- Drainage works
- Street lighting upgrades
How will this impact highway users?
Monday 20 January - Friday 14 March: The roads will remain open with temporary traffic signals and localised lane closures in place. The team will be working between 7am and 7pm.
It may be necessary to close Pelham Street for short periods of time. Closures will be scheduled to best accommodate the needs of local businesses and residents. Once dates and times of any closures are determined, we will update our website and social media channels.
Monday 10 March - Friday 14 March: Overnight closures will be in place between 7pm and 7am for resurfacing and road marking refreshments. Diversion routes will be in place and clearly signed when the closures are in place.
Access to the road will be restricted for residents for the duration of works.
If you need vehicle access to your property, please discuss this with the team on site. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshals. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Information for residents and businesses
Public Transport: Bus services may be impacted during the overnight closures. Information on diversions and affected services will be provided by the bus company.
Weather: All of these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain or severe frosts 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.
