Map showing location 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 drainage works in The Street, Rodmell following numerous reports of flooding to private property and the carriageway.
These works involve a jetting unit attending to clear gullies, alleviating flooding to the carriageway and private property.
When do they start?
Works will take place on Thursday 4 April. 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 cleaning the drainage system, including all pipes, gullies and access chambers. Any damaged areas found will be recorded for repair at a later date.
How will this impact highway users?
The road will be closed to through traffic between 9am and 4pm.
The team will be working between the junction of Newhaven Road to junction of Martens Field.
If you need vehicle access during the above closure hours, 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 marshals.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
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 works area may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
