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 on Brightling Road, Williards Hill and Ludpit Lane, Robertsbridge.

When do they start?

Work will be carried out from Monday 7 October 2024 to Friday 25 October 2024 between 8am and 5pm.

We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.

What are we doing?

These works involve replacing drainage gullies and underground pipes to alleviate flooding. 

How will this impact highway users?

The team will be working at various locations between the junction with Fontridge Lane and ’Jack Fullers Coaching House’.

Access to the roads will be restricted for the duration of works. Traffic will be diverted via Brightling Road, King's Hill Road, Bell Alley Road, School Hill, Oxenbridge Lane, Ludpit Lane and vice versa.

If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on site. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshals. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

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.
