The work will take place over 3 - 5 non-consecutive weekends, during which time the bridge will be closed to traffic.
These weekends are:
- 8pm Friday 12 September until 6am Monday 15 September
- 8pm Friday 26 September until 6am Monday 29 September
- 8pm Friday 10 October until 6am Monday 13 October
- 8pm Friday 17 October until 6am Monday 20 October
- 8pm Friday 31 October until 6am Monday 03 November
During these times the A27 will be closed from The Causeway roundabout to the junction with Crossbush Lane. Access to Arundel Railway Station, homes, businesses and local roads will be maintained from each end of this section, but the bridge itself will be closed to traffic.
There will be pedestrian access to the station from the bridge by means of the footbridge, and pedestrians will be able to access the station platforms from the station. For wheelchair users, there will be arrangements to allow escorted passage over the bridge while it is closed. There are also provisions to allow emergency services across the bridge in the event of an emergency.
A fully signed diversion route will be in place during each closure.
Diversion Route
Whilst the weekend closures are in place two diversion routes will be in operation:
A27 Westbound traffic will be diverted via either A280 via Angmering or A284 via Lyminster to A259 at Littlehampton then along the A259 to Bognor Regis and up the A29 to rejoin the A27 at Fontwell.
A27 Eastbound traffic will be diverted from Fontwell to Bognor Regis using the A29, along the A259 to Littlehampton then use either the A284 via Lyminster or A280 via Angmering to get back onto the A27.
Please note: The A280 is an advisory diversion route and will provide diversions between the A27 and the A259 during all closure dates except during the day on Saturday 13 September when the A280 diversion will not be signed due to a local event in Littlehampton.
