Map of works area
We’ll soon be carrying out repairs to a landslip on Lewes Road in Piddinghoe, helping to make the area safer for pedestrians.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Thursday 18 June to Wednesday 1 July 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 reinstating the verge using concrete bags and clearing vegetation. We will also be building a retaining wall and installing timber fencing to prevent issues in the future.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working between The Street and ‘Twitten House’. The road will remain open with two way temporary traffic lights in place for the duration of the works.
A temporary speed reduction from 50 to 30 MPH will also be in place for safety.
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.
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.
