Brookleigh Eastern Bridge and Link Road: Isaacs Lane works under Traffic Management
UPDATE July 2024: To carry out new development road surfacing works a full road closure will be required from 22:00 Friday 26th July through to 05:00 Monday 29th July 2024 meaning that Isaacs Lane will be closed in both directions, except for resident, pedestrian and emergency access. The works will take place around the clock that weekend, to ensure they are completed as quickly as possible. A further full road closure of Isaacs Lane is also likely from 22:00 Friday 2nd August through to 05:00 Monday 5th August 2024 in case the works cannot be completed over the first weekend. The road will be closed between Cuckfield Road and Bolnore roundabout. Please see map below.
Access for emergency services, residents and pedestrians will be maintained at all times. West Sussex County Council, as the Highways Authority, has specified a diversion route in place for vehicles which will be clearly displayed with signage. The diversion route can be viewed by searching PJ011PSI3550_9 on the live traffic works map here: https://one.network/uk/westsussex
These works cannot be completed during regular working hours as the full road closure required means they would cause too great a disruption to the local road network.

UPDATE June 2024: The works have been progressing since they began in late January, however some unavoidable delays have been experienced which will in turn delay the completion of the works on site. Before Sisk could commence their works, Openreach had to complete their works, and these were unfortunately delayed. Alongside this, poor weather conditions have meant that works have had to be paused multiple times over the past few months. It is therefore necessary to extend the timeframe for Sisk to complete their works on Isaacs Lane.
The works are now scheduled to be complete by Saturday 31st August 2024. To undertake the works safely but also keep one lane open for traffic, works will continue to take place under temporary traffic signals between 07:30 to 18:00 Mondays to Saturdays.
A full road closure will be required from 22:00 Friday 26th July through to 05:00 Monday 29th July 2024 meaning that Isaacs Lane will be closed in both directions, except for resident access. A diversion route for vehicles will be clearly displayed with signage. The works will take place around the clock that weekend, to ensure they are completed on time. These works cannot be completed during regular working hours as the full road closure required means they would cause too great a disruption to the local road network.
We apologise for the impact this unavoidable delay will have and want to assure you that Sisk will continue to monitor all traffic on Isaacs Lane and act, where possible, to improve traffic flow and maintain access to properties. If you have any questions about these works or concerns during the work period, please call John Sisk & Son Ltd on 01727875551 or message us or email

John Sisk and Son is building the Eastern Bridge and Link Road, which will join Freeks Lane to Issacs Lane. They will be carrying out new internet network connections and highway improvement works along Isaac's Lane. These essential works are required to facilitate the construction of the new junction which will provide access to the Brookleigh development and relieve pressure on the existing road network by providing a through-road for Brookleigh traffic.
Before Sisk can start their junction works, Openreach will require a full road closure to complete internet network connections. This will take place every night between 20:00 and 05:00 from the evening of Monday 8th January through to the early morning of Friday 12th January 2024. A diversion route for vehicles will be clearly displayed with signage and businesses will be open as usual.
To undertake the works safely but also keep one lane open for traffic, it is necessary to install temporary traffic lights on Isaacs Lane from Monday 8th January through to 3rd June 2024.
Some of the work may require a full road closure. The proposed date under consideration to complete these works during night working hours of 20:00 to 05:00 is from Friday 31st May through to Monday 3rd June 2024. These works cannot be completed during regular working hours due to the impact on the road network. If the closure is required, notification will be given and a diversion route for vehicles will always be clearly displayed with signage and businesses will be open as usual.
All traffic lights will be manned within peak traffic periods to ensure and maintain the flow of traffic, an operative will be on site at all times to ensure that any unexpected flows are properly managed.
The network connection and highway improvement works form part of the Eastern Bridge and Link Road delivered in accordance with the associated planning consent DM/20/3247. Formal notice of the works has been submitted to and approved by Mid Sussex District Council.
We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused. If you have any questions about these works or concerns during the work period, please call John Sisk & Son Ltd on 01727875551 or email
