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 in School Lane and Oakleaf Drive, Polegate.
Once completed, these works will help improve the condition of the road surface and ensure a smoother, safer journey.
When do they start?
Tuesday 24 - Wednesday 25 October – Oakleaf Drive will be closed to through traffic between 9am and 4pm.
Thursday 26 - Monday 30 October – School Lane will be closed to through traffic between 7am and 7pm. There are no plans for weekend working.
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 cutting out the affected area and refilling with a new smoother tarmac.
How will this impact highway users?
A diversion route will be in place via Station Road, Sayerland Road, Oakleaf Drive, School Lane & vice versa.
If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on site to see if this is possible. 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: 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 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.
