Fed-up drivers warn Worthing is heading for gridlock as roadworks are promised for one of the town's main routes.
Lane closures will be in force on the busy A24 at Broadwater Bridge, near Teville Gate, for six weeks from Monday. Drivers fear a combination of existing roadworks on the A259 and the new ones at the bridge will lead to traffic chaos during rush hours.
Driver Barry Hart, who regularly travels from Worthing to Southwater, is furious. He said: "I can't understand why the repairs can't be done either overnight or at least at off-peak times."
A West Sussex County Council spokesman said: "The work is very important and if we only have engineers there at certain times of the day the repairs and renovations will take even longer to complete. We apologise to drivers for any inconvenience they may suffer."
