The completion of the work last Friday means that a planned closure of the eastbound carriageway will not go ahead this week.

It is great news for local residents and businesses in the Chichester and Havant area and for everyone who uses this busy road that the resurfacing work has finished earlier than scheduled, and we won’t need the closures this week.
