Burgess Hill roadworks: Jane Murray Way closed

Motorists in Burgess Hill are advised to plan their journeys accordingly as Jane Murray Way is set to be closed temporarily due to ongoing roadworks. The closure, scheduled to take place from 04:30 on 12 August 2026, will last until 05:30, affecting commuters and residents alike.

Jane Murray Way, a major thoroughfare in the town, will be closed to facilitate essential maintenance works, with West Sussex County Council responsible for the project. The authority has deemed the disruption necessary to ensure the road's safety and longevity. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and follow the recommended diversion route to avoid congestion and potential delays.

Drivers are advised to check traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, for the most up-to-date information on the road closure and alternative routes. The diversion route will be clearly signposted to help guide motorists through the area. Road Closures UK recommends allowing extra time for journeys and considering alternative modes of transport, such as public buses or trains, where possible.

The temporary closure of Jane Murray Way is expected to have a moderate impact on traffic flow, with some disruption to the local road network anticipated. However, it is worth noting that the works are scheduled to take place during early morning hours, which may help mitigate the effects on rush-hour traffic.

Residents and businesses in the surrounding area are advised to be aware of the road closure and plan their daily routines accordingly. Pedestrians and cyclists are also reminded to follow the recommended diversion routes and exercise caution when navigating the roadworks.

In light of the road closure, local residents and commuters are advised to check the latest traffic updates and plan their journeys in advance. West Sussex County Council will provide regular updates on the project's progress, and Road Closures UK will continue to monitor the situation and provide information on the roadworks.
