MOTORISTS are warned of potential delays after a fault was discovered in the carriageway of the A27

Highways England has closed one lane of the eastbound A27 near Polegate for safety reasons after a fault was discovered in the carriageway following work to install utility connections.

It is likely the lane will remain closed until Sunday morning, engineers have said.

Currently lane two is closed on the eastbound and approach to Golden Jubilee Way roundabout along with an inside lane of the roundabout junction itself.

Lane two of the Jubilee roundabout onto the A22 is also closed along with a lane closure on the A22 heading towards Dittons roundabout.
