Road closures: nine for Mid Sussex drivers this week

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

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

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

• A23, from 7.30pm February 6 to 6am February 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Pease Pottage to Handcross, carriageway closure for surface works.

• A23, from 7am February 10 to 6am March 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 northbound, Patcham, Lane closure for vegetation works.

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

• A23, from 8pm February 13 to 6am February 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 southbound, Pyecombe to Patcham, lane closure for maintenance works.

• A23, from 8pm February 14 to 5am February 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Hickstead to Bolney, Lane closure for barrier repairs.

• A23, from 8pm February 20 to 5am February 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Patcham to Hickstead, Lane closure for barrier repairs.

• A23, from 8pm February 22 to 6am February 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 southbound, Dale Hill to Patcham, slip road closure for maintenance works.

• A23, from 8pm February 25 to 5am February 26, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Pyecombe to Patcham, lane closure for maintenance works.

• A27, from 8pm February 27 to 6am March 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound, and westbound, Havant to Pevensey, mobile lane closures for maintenance works.

• A23, from 8pm February 27 to 6am March 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 northbound, Hickstead, slip road and lane closure for survey works.

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