Please see the below update, received from WSCC:

REMINDER - IMPORTANT INFORMATION Road closures affecting Market Avenue and Basin Road, Chichester for urgent gas main replacement

We’d like to provide an update regarding the gas main replacement work as follows.

The engineering team have made excellent progress with phase one Market Avenue/South Street complete ahead of time.

Phase 2 Market Avenue Road Closure

From 6am on Monday 29 June we will be closing the eastbound lane of Market Avenue for a duration of three weeks – this will mean no vehicles can travel eastbound along Market Avenue – there will be a signed diversion route in place. Map below show the location of the closure.

The following is a reminder of the remaining programme.

Basin Road, Chichester – 8 Weeks

Phase 3 – 13/07/26

Basin Road Closed from its junction with Canal Wharf to Railway Crossing

Phase 4

Lane Closures on Basin Road - as soon as phase three works are complete the road will be opened, we will be working from Railway Crossing to junction Market Avenue under a lane closure on the one-way section of Basin Road.

The road closures will mean:

• No vehicle access past the closures – signed diversion routes will be in place
• Vehicle access to properties/businesses within the closure will be maintained where it is safe to do so – we will liaise directly with properties affected
• Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times

Major impact to bus routes

Bus routes will be disrupted with some routes not being able to operate to timetable. Please follow the link below or QR code to the latest updates/information and changes.

Please use your bus service wherever possible to travel around town - this will help alleviate the number of vehicles on the road adding to traffic congestion.
