The A23 northbound is currently closed between the A272 near Ansty and the B2115 in West Sussex. This closure follows a serious collision yesterday afternoon that resulted in a major oil spill across the road.

Emergency resurfacing work began immediately and will continue throughout the night to ensure the road is safe for drivers. Due to these urgent repairs, motorists are expected to face significant delays and congestion in the affected area.

To avoid the disruption, drivers are advised to follow the diversion route: leave the A23 northbound at the A272 (Bolney, near Ansty), take the second exit at the roundabout onto London Road heading north, then follow London Road north and rejoin the A23 just past Jeremys Corner fuel station.

Motorists planning to travel through this stretch should consider alternative routes or delay their journey until the road reopens. For the latest traffic updates, visit www.trafficengland.com or check the regional X feed for live updates from National Highways.
