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 carriageway works on Priory Street, Lewes.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Wednesday 24 July 2024 to Saturday 10 August 2024 between 8am 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 excavations to install a new concrete substructure. We will also be reinstating the cobble stones.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between Garden Street and Mount Street.
Access to Priory Street will be restricted for residents for the duration of works.
Traffic will be diverted via Station Street, High Street, Western Road, Winterbourne Hollow, Bell Lane, Southover High Street 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 marshalls.
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.
Waste collection: Access to the closure will be granted for waste collection.
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.
Permit Reference: EA222-MW0092-02
