A section of the A27 on the West Sussex and Hampshire border is closed westbound for emergency road resurfacing following a car fire and could remain shut until midday, according to police.
At 21:30 BST on Monday West Sussex Fire and Rescue confirmed it was at the scene of a vehicle fire between the Fishbourne roundabout near Chichester and the Emsworth turn-off at Langstone.
Shortly before 22:00 road users were advised to avoid the area with National Highways saying the westbound carriageway would be closed until further notice.
At 07:32 on Tuesday National Highways advised that the closure was still in place, adding that assessments continue to establish the extent of resurfacing required.
Motorists have been advised to exit the A27 at the Fishbourne roundabout on to the A259 before re-joining the A27 at the Emsworth interchange.
