Albourne: Church Lane Closed

Church Lane in Albourne will be closed from 10 August 2026 at 05:00 until 28 August 2026 at 17:00. The closure affects Church Lane, which is located near Brighton, and is being carried out by West Sussex County Council. A major project is underway, with a medium severity level of disruption expected.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys carefully and check traffic apps for updates before heading out. The most efficient routes will likely be affected by the closure, and drivers are encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys. Alternative routes should be taken where possible, and using traffic apps can provide valuable information on up-to-date traffic conditions.

The closure is expected to have a significant impact on traffic in the area, particularly during peak hours. Commuters and visitors to the area are urged to be patient and prepared for delays. Regular updates will be provided on the traffic situation, and Road Closures UK will keep the public informed with the latest information.

West Sussex County Council is responsible for the project, which aims to improve the infrastructure in the area. The work is being carried out during a time when traffic volumes are lower, in order to minimize disruptions. However, the medium severity level of disruption means that some delays are still expected.

The project will see significant improvements to Church Lane, with a focus on enhancing the road network and reducing congestion. While the closure is in place, drivers are advised to use alternative routes, such as the nearby A23 or A272, to avoid the affected area. Checking traffic apps regularly can also help drivers to navigate the area safely and efficiently.

Drivers are also encouraged to consider using public transport or car-sharing services, where possible. The local public transport network is likely to be affected by the closure, but alternative routes and services will be available. Regular updates will be provided on the traffic situation, and Road Closures UK will be keeping the public informed with the latest information.
