IMPORTANT ROADWORKS INFORMATION

IMPORTANT ROADWORKS INFORMATION 14 January 2026
Blackbrook Lane, North Chailey

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 repairs to the bridge on Blackbrook Lane, North Chailey, to improve overall safety to road users and pedestrians.
Works will take place from Monday 2 February to Friday 27 February 2026 between 8am – 4:30pm. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What does the work involve?
We will be repairing the brickwork parapet of the bridge to match the existing infrastructure. We will also be replacing the fencing at all four corners of the bridge.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working at the bridge along Blackbrook Lane which crosses the Pellingford Brook watercourse.
Access will be restricted to residents while we are working, with traffic diverted via Hunt’s Gate, Butterbox Lane, Nash Lane, the A272, the A275, Warrs Hill Road and vice versa.
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.

Public Transport: Local bus services have been informed of these works and will be diverted.
Waste collection: Access will be granted for any waste collection.
