Map showing location of 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 carriageway resurfacing in The Bourne, Hastings.
Once completed, these works will help improve the condition of the road surface.
When do they start?
Works will take place between Monday 4 March and Friday 22 March. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
We will be carrying out re-surfacing works to the full width of the carriageway. As part of this, works will include:
• Removing and replacing the existing road surface,
• Iron works replacement and/or adjustment – to include manhole covers and gullies,
• Kerbing and footway repairs,
• Road Marking reinstatements,
• Replacement of High Friction surface at various locations.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between East Parade and Old London Road. This will also include the entrance to Harold Road.
The road will be closed to through traffic between 7pm and 6am. A diversion route will be in place via Priory Road, Mount Pleasant Road, Elphinstone Road & vice versa.
An alternative diversion route will be in place for HGVs via A21, A28, A268 & vice versa.
Access for residents will be unaffected between the Priory Road junction and approximately 100m North of the junction with High Street. If you need vehicle access beyond this point, please discuss this with the team on site to see if this is possible. Please bear in mind, there will be delays whilst the area is made safe 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.
