Map showing location 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 targeted patch repairs works on Milfoil Drive, Eastbourne.
Once completed, these works will help improve the condition of the road surface.
When do they start?
Work will be carried on Wednesday 10 July 2024 between 8pm and 6am.
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 essential patching repair works to improve the carriageway condition. How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between the entrance to Shinewater Community Centre and the entrance to Shinewater Children’s Centre.
Traffic will be diverted via Larkspur Drive, Friday Street, Willingdon Drove and vice-versa.
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.
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: There will be an impact on evening services from 8pm onwards. Alternative bus stops will be available along the diversion route.
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.
