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. As part of this, we will be carrying out drainage repair works on Swife Lane, Broad Oak.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out from Wednesday 2 October 2024 to Friday 4 October 2024 between 9am and 4pm.
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 reforming and clearing the ditches, as well as cleaning gullies and under-runs.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working from approximately 300 metres South of the junction with Witherenden Road to the junction of Burwash Road.
Access will be restricted for residents for the duration of these works. A diversion route will be in place via Witherenden Road, Street End Lane,A265 and vice versa.
If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team onsite. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshalls. 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 carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
