When do they start?
Works will be carried out from Monday 11 May to Friday 15 May 2026 between 7am and 3:30pm. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
The new traffic signal poles were not available during our previous visit to the site; however, we can now proceed on this work.
The works will involve the removal of the old traffic signal poles due to corrosion, and we are replacing with 2 new poles.
How will this impact highway users?
The road will remain open with a lane closure in place to minimise any disruption with the works taking place at the western end of the Newhaven swing bridge.
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 work.
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. There may also be 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. Should you have any concerns regarding these works, you can contact us at eshcomms@balfourbeatty.com.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
