Map 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. We will soon be carrying out carriageway investigations on Devonshire Road, Station Approach, Havelock Road and Cornwallis Terrace, Hastings.
When do they start?
Work on the above roads will be carried out from Monday 10 November to Wednesday 19 November 2025 between 7pm and 6am, with no weekend working. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
We are carrying out site investigations, including trial holes and surveys of the underground utilities. These investigations gather information about the condition of the road to help plan for future works to the carriageway.
How will this impact highway users?
Devonshire Road: 10 November - 14 November 2025, 7pm to 6am. Between South Terrace and Cornwallis Terrace. Access will be restricted to residents while we are working, with traffic diverted via Priory Street, Cambridge Road, Cornwallis Gardens, Linton Road, Priory Avenue and South Terrace.
Devonshire Road, Havelock Road, Cornwallis Terrace & Station Approach: 17 November - 19 November 2025, 7pm to 6am. The roads will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place for the duration of the works. We will work in the area in sections with only one section being carried out at a time.
For access, please approach the closure point and speak to the site team. This is for access only and there will be no through route. There may be a 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
Public transport: Passenger transport services have been informed of these works and services that run after 7pm will be impacted. Check before you travel.
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 these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress of the work.
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.
