The £100,000 West Sussex County Council scheme will see the replacement of all road markings and cat’s eyes as well as some localised resurfacing. Any damaged or missing signs will also be repaired or replaced.

The work is scheduled to finish on Monday morning (May 9), weather permitting. It will be carried out from 8pm to 5am.

A signed diversion route will operate via the A283, A2037, A281 and A272. Motorists travelling during the night in this area are advised to allow extra time for their journey.

Advance notices will be put in place on the surrounding roads to warn motorists about the roadworks a week before they are due to start.
