Map of works area
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highways service across East Sussex. We will be carrying out carriageway works on Albert Road, Hastings to improve the skid resistance and condition of the carriageway.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Tuesday 27 January to Thursday 29 January 2026 between 9pm and 6am each night. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
The works involve improving the texture and grip of the road by shot blasting the surface.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working between the junctions of the A259 and South Terrace.
Access will be restricted to residents while we are working, with traffic diverted via A2101, A21, A2102, A259 and vice versa.
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.
Waste collection: Access will be granted for any waste collection.
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 notice some noise, flashing lights, or reversing sirens. We will do our utmost to keep this to a minimum.
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.
