Chaos on the A27: Major Crash Shuts Road Both Ways
East Sussex commuters are facing severe disruption after a car collision forced the closure of the A27 in both directions. The traffic jam is affecting the stretch between Hollingbury, Brighton (just past the A23), and the A270 near Falmer.
Emergency Services Swarm the Scene
Sussex Police and emergency crews quickly responded to the crash site. National Highways contractors are also present, working to manage traffic flow and clear the wreckage as swiftly as possible.
Delays and Detours – Plan Your Journey Now
Drivers are advised to prepare for heavy delays. Those travelling this route should expect hold-ups around the 123 Interchange. A recommended detour is to divert onto Coldean Lane at the roundabout, then merge back onto the A27 by staying left. Extra journey time is essential, or travellers should consider alternative routes or delay their journey until the road reopens.
