Highways England’s public consultation on options for an A27 Arundel bypass has started and runs until October 16, 2017.
The Government has the ambition to replace the existing single carriageway on the A27 at Arundel with a dual carriageway bypass, linking together the existing dual carriageway sections.
Highways England has developed three options for achieving this ambition.
It will be hosting the following public consultation events, where experts will be on hand to explain the proposals and a brochure and questionnaire will also be available:
• Tuesday, August 31, 2pm to 8pm, Arundel Town Hall, Maltravers Street, Arundel, BN18 9AP;
• Tuesday, September 5, 2pm to 8pm, Cathedral Centre, London Road, Arundel, BN18 9AY;
