About the scheme

The A27 Worthing and Lancing improvements scheme requires upgrading and improving to ensure it can deliver the performance needed to support the nation in the 21st century.

A budget of between £50 million and £100 million has been allocated to the scheme. It is part of a package of investments along the A27 corridor to increase its capacity and condition which includes schemes at Arundel and East of Lewes.

The area considered is the 6 kilometre section of the A27 from Forest Lane (west of Worthing) to the Grinstead Lane / Manor Road junction (east of Lancing). The route passes through the northern parts of Worthing and Lancing and is bordered in part by the South Downs National Park to the north.
