We’ll soon be carrying out parapet repairs on the bridge near The Old Dairy on Janes Lane, Wivelsfield.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 7 September to Friday 9 October 2026, between 8am and 4:30pm.
There are no plans for weekend working during these dates. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
These works involve removing the debris from the river and replacing the brickwork. We will also be replacing the timber posts and rails.
How will this impact highway users?
The road will remain open, with temporary traffic lights in place 24 hours a day at the bridge. Please note that the 30mph speed limit will remain in force until the works are completed.
Please be polite and respectful to the site teams, they are working to keep everyone safe.
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.
