Roadworks Church Road, Mountfield – 07.12.23 to 08.12.23

IMPORTANT ROADWORKS INFORMATION 20 November 2023

Church Road, Mountfield

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 targeted patch repairs in Church Road, Mountfield.

Once completed, these works will help improve the condition of the road surface.

When do they start?

Work will be carried out on Thursday 7 December and Friday 8 December. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.

How will this impact highway users?

The team will be working in the vicinity of All Saints` Church. A diversion route will be in place via Kent Lane, Mountfield Lane, Kent Lane, Brightling Rd, Station Rd, George Hill, A21, A2100, New Cut & vice versa.

The road will be closed to through traffic between 7am and 7pm.

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: 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.

For information on roadworks and journey planning, visit www.One.Network.com. Please follow us on X (formerly Twitter) @esccroads or Facebook @EastSussexHighways for updates.
