Temporary traffic lights placed on road in Eastbourne due to carriageway investigation works

From Monday, January 26 to Thursday, January 29, carriageway investigation works will be taking place between Shinewater roundabout and Friday Street roundabout in Willingdon Drove, East Sussex Highways has confirmed.

The works will take between 8pm to 6am with temporary traffic lights in place whilst the work is undertaken and removed each day when the works are finished.

A spokesperson for East Sussex Highways said: “We’re carrying out investigations, including trial holes and core holes, to gather information about the condition of the road. This will help plan possible future repairs to the carriageway.

“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.

“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”
