A section of the A24 is being revamped to make it safer.

The improvement work between Washington and Buck Barn will involve night time closures of the road between its junctions with the A272 at the Buck Barn crossroads and the A283 Washington roundabout from Tuesday May 3.

The £100,000 West Sussex County Council scheme will see the replacement of all road markings and cat's eyes as well as some resurfacing. Any damaged or missing signs will also be repaired or replaced.

The work is scheduled to finish on Monday May 9, weather permitting. It will be carried out from 8pm to 5am.

A signed diversion route will operate along the A283, A2037, A281 and A272. Motorists travelling during the night in this area are advised to allow extra time for their journey.
