Map showing location 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 in Whatlington Road, Battle.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Thursday 25 July 2024 to Wednesday 31 July 2024 between 9:30am and 4pm.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working from the junction of Virgin Lane and continue approximately 620m along Whatlington Rd.
Access to the road will be restricted for residents for 24 hours. Traffic will be diverted via Whatlington Road, Caldbec Hill, Mount Street, A2100 Upper Lake, Marley Lane, A21 New Road, Whatlington Road & 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 marshalls.
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.
Buses: The closure will impact public bus services that are scheduled to pass through the works. Passengers will be required to use alternative bus stops along the diversion route.
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.
Permit Reference: EA002R-WHATLINGTON-04
