UPDATE: A24 to be closed overnight for re-surfacing after diesel spill near Washington
The A24 between Washington and Findon is set to be shut overnight for resurfacing after a diesel spill this morning (Tuesday August 19).
Police closed the A24 southbound after a lorry struck a crash barrier and ruptured its fuel tank, spilling a large amount of diesel across the carriageway.
West Sussex County Council’s Highways Department has been working throughout the day to repair the damage and re-open the road, but due to its condition it will have to be resurfaced overnight.
Motorists are being advised to avoid the area and to seek alternative routes.
