Map of works area and diversion route
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highways service across East Sussex.
We'll soon be carrying out carriageway works on Grinstead Lane Forest Row.
When do they start?
Works will take place from Tuesday 5 May to Friday 8 May 2026 between 8am - 5pm.
Any changes to the dates or times will be displayed on the advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
The works involve targeted carriageway patching and joint repairs. We will also be clearing leaves, silt and debris from the drains, in preparation for Surface Dressing planned for later on this year.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working from Plawhatch Lane to the West Sussex boundary.
Access will be restricted to residents while we are working, with traffic diverted via West Hoathly Road, Saint Hill Road, the B2110, Vowels Lane, Selsfield Road, Top Road, Sharpthorne Road & vice versa.
Should you need assistance during the works, please speak to the site team. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
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 notice some noise, flashing lights, or reversing sirens. We will do our utmost to keep this to a minimum.
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.
