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. As part of this, we will be carrying out carriageway investigation works on Hillswood Road, Eridge.
What does the work involve?
The investigation involves multiple holes being drilled at various points into the carriageway to allow for testing of the sub-surface. The results of these investigations will allow us to determine the condition of the carriageway and the extent of larger works which may be required later in the year.
When do they start?
Work will take place from Monday 4 November 2024 to Friday 8 November 2024 between 7pm to 7am.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between the junctions of Fairview Lane and Broadwater Forest Lane.
Access will be restricted for residents for the duration of these works.
Traffic will be diverted via Fairview Lane, Broadwater Forest Lane and vice versa.
Should you require vehicle access please discuss this with the team onsite. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshalls. 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 experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
