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. We will soon be carrying out drainage works on Dymond Road and Blackman Avenue, St Leonards, to help alleviate flooding.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 14 to Thursday 17 April 2025 between 9am and 4pm each day.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
We will be root cutting, replacing broken drainage pipes and reinstalling dropped kerbs to improve water flow in the drainage network.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between the junction of Chambers Road and the junction of Burden Place, and access will be restricted to residents while we are working. There will be a diversion in place via Burden Place, Blackman Avenue, Ford Road, Chambers Road & vice versa.
If you need access, please approach the closure point and speak to the site team. This is for access only and there will be no through route. There may be a slight delay while we make it safe for you to pass, 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.
Waste collection: Access will be granted for any 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 notice some noise, flashing lights, or reversing sirens. We will do our utmost to keep this to a minimum.
