Attention all drivers! Heads up, as sections of the A27 will be closed today. Brace yourselves for some major delays, folks. This is due to a slow-moving convoy heading down the road at a snail's pace of 12 mph. Talk about a sluggish commute!
What's causing this traffic nightmare, you ask? Well, it turns out that the convoy is transporting two large pieces of sensitive electrical equipment from Shoreham Port in West Sussex to a substation near Uckfield in the east. That's quite a journey, spanning a total of 24 miles and including stretches on the A27, A26, and A22. And to make matters worse, the entire trip is estimated to take a whopping six to eight hours. Yikes!
To accommodate this slow-moving convoy, diversions have been put in place for eastbound traffic on the A27. If you're heading in that direction, take note that the recommended route is through Devil's Dyke roundabout. And for those travelling westbound from Lewes Road, you'll also need to follow the designated diversion. Don't worry, though, as lane one of the A27 eastbound road from Devil's Dyke Road to the A23 roundabout will remain open. This will allow traffic to be redirected onto the diversion without too much hassle.
But wait, there's more. Several junctions onto the A27 will also be closed, so make sure to plan your route accordingly. And here's a friendly reminder from the Sussex Police: please ignore your trusty satellite navigation systems and follow the diversion signs instead. We want to ensure a smooth and safe journey for everyone, so let's all cooperate and follow the designated routes. Drive safely, folks!
