Drivers warned of ‘severe delays’ on the A24

The A24 northbound Horsham bypass between Tower Hill and Broadbridge Heath closed yesterday and is likely to remain shut for two weeks.

The closure is to allow repairs to be carried out to a railway bridge there after it was struck by a lorry last month.

Network Rail has previously said that £750,000 ‘significant repairs’ were needed.

The AA warns there are ‘severe delays’ on the stretch between Mill Straight and the B2237 Worthing Road at Hop Oast.
