Access to homes, shops and businesses will be maintained. However, when works are being carried out in the immediate vicinity, delays may occur for operational and/or safety reasons. Side streets may also be affected.
A West Sussex County Council spokesperson said: “These are essential works as the current surface is showing signs of significant weakening.
“Every effort will be made to limit inconvenience as much as possible. For example, our contractor will try its best to carry out the noisiest operations in the earliest part of the evening and before 11pm.
