Planned road closures across Sussex: dates and locations for autumn works
Drivers in West Sussex face a series of planned road closures this autumn, with gas main replacements, resurfacing and bridge repairs scheduled between September and November.
West Sussex Highways has announced overnight closures in Chichester and East Grinstead, while longer closures are planned in Midhurst and on Stockbridge Road in Chichester. The dates below are those published by the highways authority and may be subject to change.
In Midhurst, Chichester Road is due to close – between its junctions with Selham Road and New Road – for approximately eight weeks from September 21. SGN is replacing a gas main beneath the road.
A further SGN gas main replacement scheme is planned for Stockbridge Road, Chichester. West Sussex Highways says a road closure is scheduled between the Chichester Bypass and Grosvenor Road from October 10 to November 27. Its announcement also refers to three weeks of works before the closure, so drivers should check the latest details before travelling.


Several roads in Chichester city centre are due to close overnight for carriageway resurfacing between September 28 and October 5. The affected sections are Basin Road, from Market Avenue to Canal Wharf; Southgate Link, from Basin Road to the traffic lights; approximately ten metres of Kingsham Road from Basin Road; and Canal Wharf, from Basin Road to outside Royal Mail. The listed working hours are 8pm to 6am.
In East Grinstead, overnight resurfacing closures are planned on Birches Industrial Estate, from Imberhorne Lane to Hills Road, from October 5 to 8. Sections of Imberhorne Lane and Imberhorne Way are then due to close from October 8 to 16. All three closures are listed for 8pm to 6am.
Bridge repairs on College Lane, East Grinstead, are scheduled from October 5 to November 6. Multi-way traffic lights are planned from October 5 to 23, followed by a full road closure from October 26 until November 6.
