Map showing the location of works 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 installing High Friction Surfacing (HFS) on Cat Street and Gallipot Hill, Hartfield.
Once completed, these works will help reduce the skid risk of the surface, as vehicles enter the village 30mph zone.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out on Wednesday 24 July between 7pm and 6am.
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 applying a layer of coloured, high friction surface material to the existing carriageway, followed by the application of a 30mph roundel.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working in multiple locations between the junction of the B2026 Jib Jacks Hill and the Shepherds Gate junction.
Access to Cat Street and Gallipot Hill will be restricted for residents between ‘Gallypot Cottages’ and ‘Craddocks’.
Traffic will be diverted via B2026, A22, B2110 & 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 marshalls. Access for emergency vehicles will be provided 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.
Waste collection: Access will be granted for waste collection.
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.
Permit Reference: EA222-RS0092-C-03
