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 targeted patch repairs on the A272 at Buxted.

Once completed, these works will help improve the condition of the road surface, and ensure a smoother and safer journey.

When do they start?

Work will be carried out between Thursday 12 October and Monday 16 October. There are no plans for weekend working.

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 cutting out the affected area and refilling with a new smoother tarmac.

How will this impact highway users?

We will be working between the Buxted Church of England Primary School and the Buxted Inn.

The road will be closed to through traffic between 7pm and 7am. A diversion route will be in place via the A272, A267, A26 & vice versa.

If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on site to see if this is possible. 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: 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.
