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 carriageway investigations on Kings Drive & Park Avenue, Eastbourne.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 10 March 2025 to Saturday 15 March 2025 between 8pm and 5am.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
The investigation involves trial holes and core holes being drilled at various points in the road to allow for testing of the sub-surface. The results will allow us to determine the condition of the road and the extent of larger works which may be required later in the year.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between Willingdon Roundabout and Rodmill Roundabout, with a small section at the junction of Park Avenue included. The team will be working along the road in sections, starting at Willingdon Roundabout.
The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place for the duration of the works.
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.
Bus service: Access will be maintained for bus services where possible.
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.
