If you’ve driven down Pett Level Road you’ll have seen new white markings appear around the many potholes and cracks. Work was taking place on Tuesday September 17 to highlight the worst conditions ahead of carriageway repairs next month.
East Sussex Highways have confirmed work will take place on Pett Level Road between Monday September 30 and Friday November 1 between 7am and 7pm.
A spokesperson explained resurfacing work would take place between Chick Hill and Smugglers End Park. “These works will predominantly involve carriageway surfacing, however they will also include hedge cutting, ironwork repairs, layby and verge repairs, gully cleansing and road marking refreshments. The team will also be removing kerbing setts and refreshing the High Friction Surfacing (HFS) leading up to outside the Winchelsea Beach Cafe.”
Access to the road will be restricted for residents for the duration of works. Traffic will be diverted via Pett Level Road, Sea Road, The Strand, Tanyard Lane, Ferry Hill, Robert’s Hill, Rectory Lane, Sandrock Hill, A259, Main Road, Rye Road, Winchelsea Road, Friars Hill, Pett Road, Chick Hill and vice versa. There is a separate diversion for larger vehicles due to width restrictions on Chick Hill.
ESH says: “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.”
There’s no news on any repairs planned for the many potholes on the road to Iden.

Good news. We need bitumen and chippings resurfacing like how it used to be done to seal the surface of the road.
