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

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

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them 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 July 24 to 6am August 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Handcross to Bolney, carriageway closure for surface works.

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

• A27, from 8pm July 31 to 6am August 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Emsworth to Golden Jubilee roundabout, Lane closure for cutting and planting works.

• A23, from 8pm August 2 to 6am August 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 southbound, Warninglid to Bolney, slip road and lane closure for maintenance works.

• A23, from 8pm August 5 to 6am August 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 southbound, Pease Pottage to Handcross, lane closure for barrier works.

• A23, from 8pm August 11 to 6am August 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Patcham to Peas Pottage, mobile lane closures for grass cutting works.

• A27, from 8pm August 14 to 6am August 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 both directions Havant to Beddingham, mobile lane closures for maintenance works.

• A23, from 8pm August 14 to 6am August 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M23 both directions, junction 11 to junction 10, Lane closure for central reservation works.

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