A spokesperson for Southern Water said: “Our teams are due to fix a leak on South Farm Road, Worthing, but are waiting on Southern Gas Networks to repair one of their pipes before we can gain access. The road is expected to be shut for the next few days, with a diversion in place along Ardsheal Road into Broadwater Road to Northcourt Road. We are keeping customers updated and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
A spokesperson for West Sussex County Council added: “We received an application from Southern Water to carry out utility repair and maintenance works on Southdown Road in Worthing from Thursday 6 March to Wednesday 12 March. The works have been extended to Wednesday 19 March to deal with a gas leak before the highway can be reinstated. To ease disruption, we have postponed all other roadworks scheduled to start in the area until the road is fully reopened.”
