Important Roadworks Information – the Drove, Denton Roundabout and Seaford Road, Newhaven
Dear Resident / Business owner,
3 October 2025
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highway service across East Sussex. As part of this, we will be carrying out carriageway investigations on The Drove, Denton Roundabout & Seaford Road, Newhaven.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out from Monday 27 October to Friday 31 October 2025 between 7pm and 6am. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
We’re carrying out investigations, including trial holes and core holes, to gather information about the condition of the road, to help plan possible future works to the carriageway.
How will this impact highway users?
The road will remain open with a lane closure in place to minimise any disruption.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: 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 work.
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. There may also be 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 eshcomms@balfourbeatty.com.
