Another A27 closure will take place this weekend.

The section between Lancing and Shoreham, which has been closed multiple times over recent months, will shut on the eastbound carriageway from 9pm on Friday until 6am on Monday morning.

This is to allow National Highways teams to finish the roundabout near the new Monks Farm housing development.

A diversion will be in place for eastbound traffic via the A27, A24 and A283.

The westbound carriageway will be open as normal.

During previous closures, residents have been stuck in hours of traffic on the A259, which is not listed as an official diversion route.

One woman told The Argus that it took her almost two hours to go from Hove to Lancing and back.

Stagecoach 700 buses along the seafront were also made to divert as a result of heavy standstill traffic.

National Highways said this is the final full weekend closure planned for this stretch of the A27.
