Road closures: almost a dozen for Mid Sussex drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Mid Sussex will have 10 National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

• A23, from 8pm September 19 to 6am December 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A23 both directions Handcross to Bolney, carriageway and lane closure for resurfacing work.

And a further nine closures will begin over the next two weeks:
