A27 Arundel bypass
As the main road serving the south coast, the A27 is a crucial route through the south east. However, as it passes through Arundel it operates well over capacity and causes disruption and severe congestion. Highways England is therefore developing options for how the route could be improved.
Project information
By making changes to the A27 at Arundel we’re aiming to:
- Improve safety
- Increase the capacity of the road
- Reduce congestion and travel time
- Have as little impact as possible on the environment
- Protect and enhance the quality of the surrounding environment through high quality design
- Respect the South Downs National Park and its special qualities in our decision-making
We need this scheme because the A27 through Arundel causes a daily build up of traffic that costs commuters, businesses, communities and visitors valuable time and money. In fact, the congestions costs businesses millions of pounds a year. The road also cuts off communities and makes every day trips longer and more difficult.
