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 installing a new sign and post on South Road plus new road markings on Honeypot Lane, Plumpton.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out on Tuesday 27 May 2025.
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 installing new posts and a directional sign on South Road at the junction with Honeypot Lane. We will also be installing new road markings on Honeypot Lane.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working in two locations:
South Road – The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place between 9:30am and 4pm.
Honeypot Lane – The team will be working between Mill Lane and Novington Lane. Access will be restricted from 8am to 4pm while we are working.
Traffic will be diverted via A275, B2183, North Common Road, Plumpton Road, Beresford Road, South Road and vice versa.
If you need access, please approach the closure point and speak to the site team. This is for access only. There may be a slight delay while we make it safe for you to pass, and your vehicle will be escorted by site marshals. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
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 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.
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. Should you have any concerns regarding these works, you can contact us at eshcomms@balfourbeatty.com.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
