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 footway investigations on The Ridge, Hastings.

When do they start?

Work will be carried out from Monday 23 September 2024 to Friday 27 September between 7pm and 7am.

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 drilling multiple holes in the footway to allow for testing of the sub-surface. The results of these investigations will allow us to determine the condition of the area and the extent of larger works which may be required later in the year.

How will this impact highway users?

The team will be working at the bus stops in the vicinity of property numbers 225 and 215.

The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place whilst the work is undertaken.

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.

Permit Reference: EA223-IM0032-02
