Junction improvement works could see a section of a major road closed overnight for up to a year.

National Highways has given notice of its intention to close a section of the A27 overnight at Temple Bar Interchange, near Chichester, from May 4.

The closure would run for approximately one year, under new plans focused on junction improvements at the interchange with the A285.

The transport body intends to close both carriageways of the A27 between the exit and entry slip roads at the interchange.

All the slip roads leading to and from both carriageways would also be closed.

The overnight closures would be carried out between 9pm and 6am.

A 24-hour 50mph speed limit on both carriageways between the slip roads with the interchange would also be implemented to ensure safety.

Diversion routes would direct vehicles to exit and re-join the A27 via Temple Bar or alternate junctions, with signed instructions on site according to the closure in force.

The full closure notice can be viewed by visiting the Public Notice Portal here.
