Map showing works area 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 refurbishment works to the bridge on Harts Lane, Hartfield.
When do they start?
Works will take place from Monday 2 June to Friday 18 July 2025.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What does the work involve?
These works involve waterproofing of the bridge deck, grit blasting the metal parapets and then repairing and repainting the damaged parapet to prolong the life of the bridge.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working close to Marsh Green Lane.
Access will be restricted for residents whilst the work is taking place, the road will be closed 24 hours a day.
Traffic will be diverted via Harts Lane, Coach Road, Kidds Hill, Chuck Hatch Lane and vice versa.
If you need vehicle access, please approach the closure point and speak to the site team. This is for access only and there will be no through route over the bridge. There may be a slight delay while we make it safe for you to pass, and your vehicle is escorted by site marshalls.
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.
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.
