To enhance safety, pedestrian crossing facilities will be upgraded, and footways resurfaced, the council said. This will include adding push-button crossings for Nevill and Sackville Road.

Temporary traffic lights will be in place during the works, and while the junction will remain open throughout, north and southbound traffic will not be permitted to turn right into Old Shoreham Road. Access to all nearby properties will be maintained, the council said.

A council spokesperson said: “Unfortunately there will be delays to traffic during the project and we apologise in advance for the inconvenience. Drivers are advised to find another route if they can. This project is part of the council’s long-term plans to improve traffic flows and make sure walking is more pleasant and safe.”
