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 drainage works on Priory Road, Forest Row.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 31 March to Friday 11 April 2025 between 9am and 4pm.
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 replacing drain covers, and replacing and repairing pipework. We will also be using high pressured water to clear the drainage system.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between the junction of Swans Ghyll and the Freshfield Bank junction.
Access will be restricted for residents for the duration of these works. Traffic will be diverted via A22, Hindleap Lane, Priory Road and vice versa.
If you need vehicle access to your property, please discuss this with the team onsite. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshals. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
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.
Waste collection: Access will be granted for any waste collection.
Public Transport: Local bus services have been informed of these works and will be diverted.
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.
