Notice is hereby given that National Highways Limited has made an Order on the A27 Trunk Road in the County of West Sussex, under

Section 14(1)(a) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 because works are proposed to be executed on the road by contractors working on behalf of Vistry Homes.

The effect of the Order is to: -

1)   authorise the overnight closure of both carriageways of the A27 between Fontwell East Roundabout (A29) and Ford Roundabout (A284);

2)   impose a 24-hour 50mph restriction on;

a)   the eastbound carriageway of the A27 between a point approximately 90 metres west of the centreline of Mill Road and a point approximately 75 metres east of the centreline of Shellbridge Road; and

b)   the westbound carriageway of the A27 between points approximately 265 metres east and approximately 268 metres west of the centreline of Yapton Lane;

3)   impose a 24-hour ban on turning right:-

a)   from the eastbound carriageway of the A27 into Yapton Lane;

b)   from the westbound carriageway of the A27 into Shellbridge Road; and

c)   the use of the dedicated right hand turn lanes in either direction for the purpose thereof.

These measures are in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake carriageway alterations and all associated works.

It is expected that the work will last for approximately 8 weeks starting on Sunday  2nd November 2025. The full overnight closures will occur between 20:00 and 06:00 hours, but will be required only for the purpose of setting up and removing the traffic management, and resurfacing at the end of the project. Please consult National Highways website for details of all closures. The Order will come into force on 1st November 2025 and have a maximum duration of eighteen months, ceasing when the works are complete. Traffic affected by the overnight closures will be diverted using the A29 and A284 in either direction. Traffic affected by the right turn bans will be directed to proceed to Fontwell East Roundabout or Ford Roundabout and return as appropriate.

The temporary closures and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
