Map of works area
We’ll soon be carrying out sign installations on Blackdon Hill, Rotherfield, to help make journeys safer for road users. This work forms part of our road safety programme.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out on Tuesday 8 September between 8am 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 on Blackdon Hill between ‘Whitehouse Farm Oast’ and ‘Blackdon Hill Cottage’.
The road will be closed to through traffic, with a signed diversion route in place via Sham Farm Road, the A26, Bunny Lane, the A267, the B2100, Eridge Lane and vice versa.
For safety, access to properties within the works area will be limited and managed during our working hours. If you need access, please speak to the team on site, as arrangements and routes may change as work progresses.
Please bear in mind, there could also be a delay while the area is made safe for you to pass and your vehicle may be escorted by site marshalls. This is for properties with direct access within the closure area only and there will be no through route.
Please be polite and respectful to the site teams, they are working to keep everyone safe.
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.
