[Brighton] What are they doing by the Dyke roundabout ?

[WATFORD zero]

Coming along the A27 from the west, the field on the left just next to the dyke roundabout (left to dyke, right to dyke road roundabout) has what appears to be a winding road being built through the middle of it. Any ideas what it's for or where it's going ?

Thanking the most knowledgeable place on all things Brighton.

(And no prizes for saying they are building a road )

Did you see a lion, scarecrow and tin man there too?

Probably the access road to West Hove Golf club.

Is it a long and winding road

I do not know, however, the one at Mill Hill back of Southwick was for the cables connecting the Rampion wind-farm off Worthing to the national grid further up the county. May be a similar cable laying project.

I thought maybe that at first but it looks like the blackstuff is going down now

Not sure there are many places a road there can go. The small field with the barn immediately to the left of the slip road up to the roundabout is part of Court Farm (I think, at least it used to be) which is being developed but the news article doesn't mention the barn at all: https://www.brightonandhoveindepend...ew-blocks-of-flats-in-hove-approved-1-7768872

Maybe it is being used as site storage for the development?

Have you tried looking then driving back and looking again?

How many roads can a man walk down?

Well if walked down that one he'd have to walk back up it again!

I don't think so, this has had a hardcore base, tarmac and looks to be wide enough for about 1.5 cars and comes off the main devils dyke road and then winds down the field. It looks a fairly serious bit of investment, but as one or two have pointed out, doesn't seem to be going towards anything as far as I can see.

They should have tarmaced that, it would have made a cracking cycle route.

As its a country road, no doubt its there to take you home

What are they doing by the Dyke roundabout ?

Hostile takeover by estate agents. Shortly to be rebranded 'Dyke Village'

Nope, would't be able to see that from the A27.

Italian contractors who normally build expensive autostrada to nowhere in Napoli and Calabria, won the lucrative contract to shadow the A27, paid for by EU grants.

I've been googling it and apparently it's a runway for our friends at Southwick Tunnel.

It winds that way to get them spinning
