A map showing the carriageway resurfacing extent in Lewes Road, Uckfield
What works will be taking place?
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 resurfacing, along with ironwork adjustments, gully cleansing, high friction surfacing, replacement of cats eyes and replacement of road markings.
When do they start?
Work will start on Monday 7 August and continue until Tuesday 15 August 2023.
How will this impact highway users?
Lewes Road will be closed to through traffic from the Little Horsted Roundabout to the junction with Eastbourne Road between 7pm and 6am. We aim to complete the noisier works before 11pm, however, there will still be some associated site noise after this time.
If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on site. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshals.
We will always allow access for emergency vehicles, and pedestrian access will be maintained.
Traffic will be diverted via Eastbourne Road, A22 & vice versa.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: 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.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
