Map showing location of works and diversion route
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 drainage works in Battery Hill, Fairlight.
Once completed, these works will help alleviate flooding to the carriageway and private property.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out between Tuesday 28 May and Friday 31 May. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working from the junction of Peter James Lane to the junction of Coastguard Lane.
The road will be closed to through traffic between 8pm-4am.
There will be a diversion route in place from Battery Hill, Pett Level Road, Chick Hill, Pett Road, Friars Hill, Friars Bank, Friars Hill, Winchelsea Road, Rye Road, Old London Road, Fairlight Road & vice versa.
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 experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
