Chaos on the A27: Major Crash Shuts Road Both Ways

East Sussex commuters are in for a nightmare as a car collision has forced the closure of the A27 in both directions. The jam is hitting traffic between Hollingbury, Brighton (just past the A23), and the A270 near Falmer.

Emergency Services Swarm the Scene

Sussex Police and emergency crews rushed to the crash site. National Highways contractors are also onsite, battling to keep traffic moving and clear the wreckage as fast as possible.

Delays and Detours – Plan Your Journey Now

Drivers are warned to brace for heavy delays. Those travelling this route should expect hold-ups around the 123 Interchange. A suggested detour is to divert onto Coldean Lane at the roundabout, then merge back onto the A27 staying left.

Extra journey time is a must, or better yet, consider alternate routes or hold off on travel until the road reopens. For the latest info, check www.trafficengland.com or call the 24/7 helpline on 0300 123 5000.
