Map 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 site investigations on Church Road, Barcombe.

What does the work involve?

The investigation work involves looking at the structural integrity of the bridge.

The results of these investigations will allow us to determine the condition of the bridge and the extent any larger works which may be required.

When do they start?

Work will take place from Thursday 17 October 2024 to Friday 18 October 2024 between 8am to 4:30pm.

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

How will this impact highway users?

Access to the road will be restricted for residents for the duration of these works.

Traffic will be diverted via Barcombe Mills Road, High Street, Hamsey Road and vice versa.

Should you require vehicle access please discuss this with the team onsite. 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 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.
