The A29 Shripney Road between Bognor and Chichester was closed on Monday and is set to remain closed until later this week.

The closure is in place from Lidsey Road to the Saltbox Roundabout.

A spokesman for West Sussex County Council said: "The road will be closed for at least a few days and we will be putting diversions in place.

"We urge drivers to adhere to the road closure and follow diversion routes."

Multiple flood alerts were issued earlier this week and a yellow weather warning was in place from Sunday afternoon until Monday morning.

The council has not confirmed an exact date they expect the road to reopen.
