A283 road closure: Temporary traffic lights remain in place four days after incident involving lorry
Temporary traffic lights remain in place four days after an incident involving a heavy goods vehicle on the A283 in West Sussex.
A lorry shed its load of construction vehicles down a ditch on A283 Washington Road last Thursday (November 17).
The road was closed both ways, between Water Lane and B2135 Horsham Road, after the incident at Wiston around 9am.
In a statement on Monday afternoon (November 21), a West Sussex County Council spokesperson said: “Since the incident and initial road closure, the road has been reopened to one lane of traffic.
"Temporary traffic lights are in place for the safety of both the public and workforce while investigations continue to assess damage to the embankment, which is adjacent to the carriageway.
“Road users are asked to please take a different route, if possible, or allow extra time for their journeys. We apologise for any inconvenience.”
