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 drainage works on Framfield Road, Blackboys.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out from Monday 15 September to Friday 26 September 2025 between 8am and 5pm. 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, installing new drainage pipes and carrying out repairs to the existing system to alleviate flooding.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working from outside property ‘Long View’ and continuing 280 metres west.
The road will remain open, with temporary traffic lights in place for 24 hours a day due to excavation works.
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.
Buses: Any affected bus services have been informed and will be diverted.
Waste collection: Access will be granted for any waste collection.
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.
