SUBJECT LINE: A27 PORTFIELD PROJECT UPDATE – WESTERN FOOTBRIDGE
The Western Footbridge crosses the A27 Chichester Bypass, providing great access for residents of Chichester, especially those living on the Shopwyke Lakes development and those in Oving and Tangmere, to safely cross the main road to and from the city centre.
Works to further facilitate the installation of the bridge are required throughout March, to deliver the bridge ramp either side of the carriageway and main span to be lifted into position. Each ramp requires weekday nighttime closures at separate times on each side of the carriageway whereas the main span requires a full weekend closure of the entire road.
A breakdown of the closures are as follows:
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused by these traffic management works, however are excited to open the much-anticipated Western Footbridge later this spring.
Full diversion signs will be in place throughout each of the closures, and diversion maps can be found on the A27 Portfield website.
