Map of works areas
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highways service across East Sussex. We will soon be installing ‘welcome’ signs on the B2247 Hailsham Road and Dittons Road, Polegate.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out on Monday 26 January 2026 between 9am and 4pm.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working in 2 locations on both sides of the carriageway:
Hailsham Road: Adjacent to the Cophall Roundabout.
Dittons Road: Outside Lidl.
The road will remain open with minimal disruption to motorists while 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 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.
