Map of works area
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 embankment reinstatements on Butchers Lane, Three Oaks.
When do they start?
Work will take place from Monday 28 July to Friday 15 August 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 rebuilding the embankment with specialised vegetated bags and adding top soil and grass seed.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working just east of Sailor Stream bridge.
Access to the road will be restricted for residents for 24 hours each day. Traffic will be diverted via Ivyhouse Lane, Chowns Hill, B2093, A259 and vice versa.
Road closed signs and barriers will be installed further away from the actual work site. 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 marshalls. You will not be able to drive through the work site. Access to properties 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.
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.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
