Another weekend closure is in place on the A27 in Shoreham-by-Sea.

Work, by National Highways, remains ongoing to complete the new roundabout at New Monks Farm.

A spokesperson for the government agency said in February: “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.”
