It means there are huge delays to commuters this morning.
A spokeswoman for West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service said: “This morning at 7.30am we were called to a small vehicle fire at Portfield Roundabout on the A27 eastbound.
“Joint Fire Control mobilised fire engines from Chichester, Bognor, and Arundel to the scene.
“Upon arrival the crew found smoke issuing from a van but no sign of a fire.
