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 site investigations on Church Lane, Lewes.
When do they start?
Works will take place from Monday 18 August to Thursday 21 August 2025 between 7am and 5:30pm.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What does the work involve?
The investigation involves trial holes being undertaken at various points in the road to investigate the structure below. The results will help inform the detailed design of the waterproofing work to the concrete slabs that will take place next year.
How will this impact highway users?
The work will take place along Church Lane, near the junction with Mayhew Way. The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place for 24 hours a day due to excavations.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: 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.
Waste collection: Access will be granted for any waste collection.
Public Transport: Local bus services have been informed of these works and there will be suspensions on affected bus stops.
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.
