A FALLEN power line is causing traffic chaos in Sussex with the closure of one of the county’s busiest roads.

East Sussex Roads Policing has announced that the A27 has been closed both ways between Kingston and Southerham roundabouts outside Lewes because of the fallen cable.

Diversions are currently in place with the road not expected to reopen until 4pm.

The closure is also causing disruption to Brighton and hove Bus Company’s 28 and 29 service.
