A27 closed for roadworks again this weekend as Easter holiday getaways begin

The county’s busiest road has already been closed westbound for the last three weekends as part of a planned phase of westbound roadworks.

It will close again from 8pm on Friday (March 31) until 6am on Monday (April 3) – just after children from across our county begin their Easter holidays and families are looking to get away.

National Highways said the additional closure would enable it to complete works earlier than planned.

The news comes as drivers started using the new roundabout on the westbound carriageway last week.

A fully signed diversion will be in place in westbound from the Shoreham Bypass A283 Steyning Road to A24 from Offington Corner via Washington roundabout.

National Highways said the new roundabout on the A27 east of Lancing will give access to the New Monks Farm development and provide better links to Shoreham Airport.
