Map of works area
We'll soon be carrying out carriageway investigations on the B2096 Cade Street & Battle Road, Heathfield.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out from Monday 13 July to Friday 17 July 2026, 7pm - 6am.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
The work involves 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.
How will this impact highway users?
We’ll be working from Hugletts Lane to 50 metres passed Marklye Lane.
The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place for the duration of the works.
Please be polite and respectful to the site teams, they are working to keep everyone safe.
Information for residents and businesses
Noise: Properties close to the carriageway may notice some noise, flashing lights, or reversing sirens. We will do our best to keep this to a minimum.
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.
