Bognor Regis: Hawthorn Rd closed

Hawthorn Road, Bognor Regis, will be closed to traffic from this afternoon until the early hours of tomorrow. The closure is due to ongoing roadworks, which are being carried out by West Sussex County Council. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and consider using alternative routes.

The closure will be in place from 5pm today, Wednesday, 06 August 2026, to 4am tomorrow, Thursday, 07 August 2026. West Sussex County Council has deemed this a medium-severity disruption, which affects the flow of traffic but does not completely prevent it.

Drivers are encouraged to check traffic apps and websites before embarking on their journeys, as this will help them to stay up-to-date with the latest information and any changes to the roadworks schedule. Those who do not need to travel during this time are advised to postpone their journeys until after the road is reopened.

For those who must travel, there are alternative routes available that can help to avoid the area. Motorists should follow the signs and directions provided by the highway authority, and be prepared to encounter some disruption to their journey. While the road closure is in place, drivers should expect delays and some congestion on the surrounding roads.

It is worth noting that the roadworks are expected to be completed by 4am tomorrow, at which point the road will be reopened to traffic. However, drivers should still be prepared for some residual delays as traffic returns to normal.

Those who are planning to travel through the area over the next 24 hours are advised to plan their journey in advance and to leave plenty of time to reach their destination. By taking a few simple precautions, such as checking traffic updates and following alternative routes, drivers can help to minimise their disruption and ensure a safe and smooth journey.
