Dear Resident / Business owner,
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 replacing the pedestrian
guard rails on the A259, Newhaven.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Tuesday 22 April to Wednesday 30 April 2025 between 8pm to 6am. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What does the work involve?
These works involve replacing the damaged pedestrian guard rails to ensure pedestrian safety.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between the swingbridge and Seahaven Swim and Fitness Centre. The road will remain open with a lane closure in place whilst the work is undertaken.
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 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 queries regarding these works, please contact us on eshcomms@balfourbeatty.com.
