Road closures: seven for Chichester drivers this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a wait of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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 October 3 to 6am October 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound, Warblington to Fishbourne Roundabout, Lane one closure for maintenance works.

• A27, from 8pm September 19 to 6am October 11, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A27 westbound, Tangmere to Portfield, carriageway and lane closure for gas mains diversion.

And a further two closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A27, from 11pm October 10 to 6am October 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Chichester to Fontwell, diversion route only.

• A27, from 8pm October 13 to 6am October 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 westbound, Bognor road to Whyke road, lane closure for maintenance works.

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