Map of works areas
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 Ersham Road & South Road, Hailsham.
When do they start?
These works will be carried out in two phases from Wednesday 25 February to Saturday 28 February and then we will return on Monday 16 March to Wednesday 18 March 2026, between 8pm and 6am. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
We’re carrying out site investigations, including trial holes and core holes, to gather information about the condition of the road and footway, to help plan future works in the area.
How will this impact highway users?
The works will be carried out in these locations:
Ersham Road - The team will be working between the Ersham Roundabout and Knights Garden.
South Road – The team will be working between Rope Maker Park and Gordon Road.
The roads will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place whilst the works are undertaken.
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.
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.
