Maintenance work on the South Lancing Overbridge to start soon
West Sussex County Council will deliver the work in two phases, working on one side of the bridge at a time. The existing carriageway and footway construction and the current bridge deck waterproofing layer will be removed. The bridge deck will then be repaired, with new waterproofing, bridge joints, and carriageway and footway construction being installed.
A West Sussex Highways officer said: “South Lancing Overbridge carries the A2025 over three electrified railway lines and Freshbrook Road which is a residential road, so it is important that we carry out this work to maintain the bridge. The works are in line with our Council Plan aim of supporting a sustainable and prosperous economy through providing a safer, more efficient and overall resilient transport network.”
