A23 Northbound Shut After Shocking Oil Spill Crash in West Sussex
The A23 is currently closed northbound between the A272 near Ansty and the B2115 in West Sussex. The closure comes after a nasty collision yesterday afternoon caused a major oil spill across the road, forcing emergency resurfacing work to begin immediately.
These urgent repairs will continue all through the night, leaving drivers stuck in the bottleneck.
How to Beat the Chaos: Diversion Route
- Leave the A23 northbound at the A272 (Bolney, near Ansty)
- Take the 2nd exit at the roundabout onto London Road heading north
- Follow London Road north and rejoin the A23 just past Jeremys Corner fuel station
