Worthing temporary cycle lane scheme set to begin

The Grove Lodge roundabout to town centre ‘pop-up’ cycleway is set to start on Monday, August 10, subject to factors such as severe weather, West Sussex County Council said.

It is likely to take about three weeks to complete and will comprise a combination of markers to separate the traffic, temporary 20mph speed limits and road markings and signage. Roadspace will be reallocated for cyclists in each direction.

A council spokesman said: “Road users are advised to please allow extra time for their journeys or, if possible, seek alternative routes while the works are ongoing as delays are likely.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused during the works but our contractor will do all it can to minimise this as much as possible.”

A start date for a similar scheme in Shoreham will be announced soon.
