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 Theaklen Drive and Menzies Road, St Leonards.
Once completed, these works will help improve the condition of the road surface.
When do they start?
Work will take place on Thursday 27 June 2024. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
How will this impact highway users?
Theaklen Drive - The team will be working from the junction with Drury Lane to the junction of Menzies Road.
Menzies Road – The team will be working from property number 10 to just before the delivery entrance for ‘Fowle & Co’.
Both Theaklen Drive and Menzies Road will be closed to through traffic between 7pm and 6am. A diversion route will be in place via Menzies Road, B2159, Sedlescombe Road South, Ponswood Road, Theaklen Drive & vice versa.
If you need vehicle access, 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 provided 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.
