IMPORTANT ROADWORKS INFORMATION 21 October 2024
Bluekiln Road and South Lane, Dallington
Dear Resident,
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 works to the drainage system in order to alleviate flooding risk on Bluekiln Road and South Lane, Dallington.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 25 November 2024 to Friday 20 December 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 improvements to the drainage system on the carriageway to alleviate the risk of flooding.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working on both South Lane and Bluekiln Road, as well as the junction connecting the two roads.
Access will be restricted for residents for the duration of these works.
Traffic for South Lane will be diverted via the B2096 and A271, Herrings Rad and vice versa.
Traffic for Bluekiln Road will be diverted via Padgham Lane, Churches Green Lane, Bodle Street Road, Rookery Lane, B2096, South Lane and vice versa.
If you need vehicle access to your property, 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. 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.
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 [email protected].
