Map of works area.

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 at Golden Cross, Upper Dicker. 

When do they start?

Works will be carried out from Monday 8 June to Friday 13 June 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 will be completing CCTV surveys of the underground drainage system and using high pressured water to clear the pipework.

How will this impact highway users?

We will be working from the junction of the A22/Chalvington Road and continue 830 metres South East.

There will be temporary traffic lights in place whilst these works are undertaken and they will be removed each night once the works are finished.

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.
