Roadworks - Uckfield By Pass - Monday 11th to Wednesday 13th August

Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highways service across East Sussex. We will soon be carrying out carriageway works on Uckfield Bypass, Uckfield

When do they start?

Work will be carried out from Monday 11 August to Wednesday 13 August 2025 between 8pm and 6am.

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 the replacement of missing and broken road studs (cats eyes).

How will this impact highway users?

We will be working in multiple locations between Burgh Hill and the Little Horsted Roundabout:

• Monday 11 August to Tuesday 12 August – Between Little Horsted Roundabout to Copwood Roundabout.
• Tuesday 12 August to Wednesday 13 August - Between Copwood Roundabout to Black Down Roundabout.

Access will be restricted to residents while we are working with traffic being diverted.

For access, please approach the closure point and speak to the site team. This is for access only and there will be no through route. There may be a short delay while we make it safe for you to pass, and your vehicle will be escorted by site marshals. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

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.

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.

Properties close to the carriageway may notice some noise, flashing lights, or reversing sirens. We will do our utmost to keep this to a minimum.

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.
