Road closures: nine for Chichester drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Chichester will have nine National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And two of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing holdups of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that five closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A27, from 8pm November 17 to 6am November 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Tangmere to Temple Bar, Lane closures for drainage work.

• A27, from 8pm October 9 to 6am November 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Temple Bar Interchange to Bognor Road roundabout, carriageway and lane closure for surface works.

• A27, from 8pm April 20 to 6am December 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Chichester by-pass to Bognor Road, Lane closures for West Sussex County Council works.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A27, from 8pm November 20 to 6am November 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 westbound, Tangmere to Portfield, slip road and lane closure for horticulture works.

• A27, from 8pm November 22 to 6am November 24, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A27 eastbound, Bognor to Portfield, carriageway closure for narrow lane installation.

• A27, from 8pm November 24 to 6am November 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Fontwell to Tangmere, Lane closure for central reservation works.

• A27, from 8pm December 4 to 6am December 9, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A27 both directions Portfield to Fontwell, carriageway closure for resurfacing works.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
