Chichester road closures: five for motorists to avoid this week

Chichester's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A27, from 6am April 4 to 6pm October 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Portfield roundabout to Tangmere roundabout, carriageway closures for installation of new footbridge, diversion via local authority network.

And a further four closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A27, from 8pm June 27 to 6am June 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Stockbridge roundabout to Temple Bar, lane closures for drainage works.

• A27, from 8pm June 27 to 6am June 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Whyke roundabout to Portfield roundabout, lane closures for barrier repair.

• A27, from 8pm June 29 to 6am July 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Portfield way to Temple Bar, diversion route for West Sussex County Council works.

• A27, from midnight, July 1 to 6pm December 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A27 eastbound and westbound, Portfield roundabout to Tangmere roundabout, Narrow lanes with 50mph speed restriction for installation of new footbridge.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
