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 works on Western Road & Allington Road, Newick.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out from Monday 18 May to Friday 29 May 2026. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
We’ll soon be installing new pipes and repairing the existing drainage system, as well as reforming and clearing the ditches, to help reduce flooding in the area.
How will this impact highway users?
Western Road - Monday 18 May to Wednesday 20 May between 8pm and 6am.
We’ll be working between the junction of Allington Road and continue east to outside number 85, with temporary traffic lights in place.
Allington Road - Tuesday 26 May to Friday 29 May, between 8am and 5pm.
We’ll be working between the junctions of Western Road to West Point and the road will be closed.
Access on Allington Road will be restricted to residents, this is due to excavations being carried out.
Should you need access, please approach the closure point and speak to the site team.
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.
Buses: Any affected bus services have been informed and will be diverted.
Noise: 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 will do our best to keep this to a minimum.
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.
