Early this week, road users were advised to plan their journeys ahead due to a road closure on the A27.

The westbound carriageway was closed from the A283 Shoreham junction to the Manor Road roundabout from 8pm on Thursday, January 6, to 6am on Friday, January 7.

Closures will also take place between the same times on Thursday, January 13 and Friday, January 14.
