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 investigation works at Withyham Road, Groombridge.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 19 August 2024 to Tuesday 27 August 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 drainage investigation using trial holes to gain information for any underlying utility pipelines which may not have been located to help alleviate flooding to carriageway and footway.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between properties ‘Florence Cottage’ and ‘Oak View’.
The road will remain open with temporary traffic signals in place whilst the works are undertaken.
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.
Permit Reference: EA002HM-0161-02
