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 vegetation clearance on the The Drove, Avis Road & Seaford Road, Newhaven.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out from Monday 9 December 2024 to Saturday 14 December 2024 between 8pm and 6am. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What will we be doing?
The team will be carrying out surveys of the underground utility services in the verge and embankment next to the highway. This will allow us to have a clear map of all buried pipes and cables in the area.
The team will also be carrying out targeted vegetation clearance to allow the surveys to be carried out safely.
How will this impact highway users?
The road will remain open with lane closures in place on The Drove and at the roundabout approaches, as well as on the roundabouts themselves.
Please be advised, works will take place in only one location at a time.
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 works area may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
