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 Furnace Lane, Frant.

Once completed, these works will help alleviate flooding to the carriageway and private property.

The works will involve a jetting machine attending the area to clear the highway gullies.

When do they start?

Work will be begin on Monday 16 October and continue for 1 nights.

We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.

How will this impact highway users?

We will be working between the junction of Bartley Mill Road and the entrance to Bayham Old Abbey.

The road will be closed to through traffic between 8pm and 4am. A diversion route will be in place via the B2100, B2099, A267 & vice versa.

If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on site to see if this is possible. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshalls.

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, however this forms part of our continuing improvement for the East Sussex highway network.

Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
