A map showing the extent of the works area in Friars Walk and diversion route
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 in Friars Walk, Lewes.
These works are being carried out to alleviate flooding to private property and the highway.
When do they start?
Work will start on Monday 24 July 2023 and continue for 15 days.
How will this impact highway users?
24 July to 11 August – Friars Walk will be closed to the through traffic between 9am and 4pm from Styles Field to approximately 40 meters Southwest of Pinwell Road. Should you require vehicle access during these times, please discuss with the team on site to see if this is possible.
Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst your vehicle is being escorted by site marshals.
Traffic will be diverted via Southover Road, Southover High Street, Bell Lane, Winterbourne Hollow, A277, A2029 & vice versa.
We will always allow access for emergency vehicles. Pedestrian access will be maintained.
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 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.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
