Parts of the A27 will be closed for entire weekends over the next two months.

National Highways has confirmed that the major A-road in Lancing will be undergoing more work.

This means that the carriageway near the New Monks Farm housing development will be closed eastbound for four whole weekends.

A spokesman for National Highways said: "Work is progressing to complete the new roundabout at New Monks Farm.

"To allow the team to finish off drainage, install ducting across the carriageway and lay the final road surface, there will be some weekend closures of the eastbound carriageway between Manor Roundabout and the Adur junction."

Weekend closures are scheduled on the following dates:

  • 9pm Friday (April 12) until 6am Monday (April 15)
  • 9pm Friday (April 26) until 6am Monday (April 29) 
  • 9pm Friday (May 10) until 6am Monday (May 13)
  • 9pm Friday (June 7) until 6am Monday (June 10)

A diversion route is planned on the A24 and A283.

Access to the airport will still be maintained and residents living on the A27 will also still be able to access their homes.

The project on the A27, which includes constructing a new roundabout to improve the links to Brighton City Airport and the housing development, is set to be completed by June.
