Albourne: The Street Closed

West Sussex County Council has announced a major disruption on THE STREET in Albourne, approximately 25 miles north of Brighton. The street will be closed to traffic from 05:00 on 10 August 2026 until 17:00 on 28 August 2026. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid the affected area.

The closure is expected to cause significant disruption to traffic flow in the region, and drivers are urged to use alternative routes where possible. THE STREET is a key thoroughfare in the area, and the closure may impact local businesses and residents. West Sussex County Council is working to minimize the disruption and has put in place measures to direct traffic around the affected area.

Motorists are advised to check traffic apps and websites before embarking on their journey to plan the best route. The M23 and A23 are likely to be busier than usual, and drivers should be prepared for delays. Those traveling to or from Brighton and the surrounding area should consider leaving earlier than usual to account for the extra time it may take to reach their destination.

While the closure is expected to cause some inconvenience, it is a necessary measure to allow for essential maintenance and repairs to be carried out on THE STREET. West Sussex County Council is working hard to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible.

The exact location of the closure is on THE STREET in Albourne, and the work is being carried out in conjunction with the highway authority. Motorists are advised to follow the diversion signs and to exercise patience when traveling through the affected area.
