Mid Sussex road closures: five for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Mid Sussex's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A23, from 8pm September 19 to 6am December 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Handcross to Bolney, carriageway and lane closure for resurfacing work.

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

• A23, from 8pm December 4 to 6am December 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M23 both directions, junction 10 to A23 Handcross junction, carriageway, slip road and lane closures for survey works.

• A23, from 8pm December 4 to 6am December 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Patcham to Pyecombe, lane closure for maintenance works.

• A23, from 8pm December 6 to 5am December 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Pyecombe to Patcham, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A23, from 8pm December 13 to 6am December 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 northbound, Hickstead to Bolney, Lane closures for maintenance work.

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