[Travel] A27 between Lancing & Shoreham

[Hove Seagull]

Good afternoon. Does anyone know if there are roadworks this weekend that may affect getting to and from Brighton on A27 for tomorrow's game?

 

[Icy Gull]

Hope not, it was supposed to be three weekends only and the last was last weekend, but definite info would be good

 

[11Wisemen]

The A27 will be fully closed westbound between the Old Shoreham Road junction and Hoe Court from

• 8pm Friday 24 until 6am Monday 27 March
• 8pm Friday 31 March until 6am Monday 3 April

 

[Hove Seagull]

Thanks. I had also heard it was just the 3 weekends, but then I thought someone (on here) said that Buckingham Group had decided to do a 4th weekend?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It seems there may be an overnight closure.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

So, it's closed Westbound on Saturday?

Yep

It seems there may be an overnight closure.

That says from 8pm Friday to 6am Monday, not just overnight.

 

[Hove Seagull]

Thanks everyone

 

[B-right-on]

And it's an absolute nightmare when it's closed with all the traffic coming through Shoreham on the coast road. I'd avoid if you can.

It also says on the “details“ tab on the National Highway website that it is closed Westbound and Eastbound for the whole weekend.

Last time I followed our dear leaders advise and went straight up the A23 then across the legend that is the A272.

I'd highly recommend that for those lucky enough to live west of Worthing.

Ah. Perhaps that's why it says click for details.

That was me, they’d initially booked 3 weekends of closures with the 3rd being a back up if they didn’t complete the work in the first 2 weeks, however, having completed the work on schedule (first 2 weekends) they decided it was an opportunity to close it for the next two weekends and bring forward works that were planned for later in the calendar.

I’ll move my clothes down to a lower peg then .

Wasn't so much my advice but thinking out loud.

We ended up coming off the A27 at Portslade, heading across towards Shoreham at the Holmbush roundabout, turning right and going under the flyover to head towards Steyning, but then taking the Bostal over the top back to the A27 and pulling a crazy U-turn at the Lancing lights to head back west.

From what I remember, you got home a lot earlier than we did, but we had been stuck in The Bridge for f***ing ever, give or take, first.

Very confusing - if it is both ways then that will be carnage for those in Shoreham and Steyning as well as anyone driving over from the West.

This will do for tomorrows game.

Going up the 23 I did toy with the idea of 'short cutting' through to Henfield, then dicking around across to Washington. (Cycling the country lanes of Sussex has its advantages)
By the sounds of it I'm glad I didn't, beyond the standard right turn onto the A272 I don't think I had any out of the ordinary stops.

Unfortunately making a return, this time on the heading east side …with a bit of unrelated trouble on the west side

Unless I’m mistaken
Match wise ..travelling to the game against Saints for those west of Shoreham will have to take it into consideration

A27 Lancing Manor Farm - National Highways

We're building a new roundabout on the A27 east of Lancing to give access to the New Monks Farm development and provide better links to Brighton City Airport.
