Main road in Crawley faces two weeks of disruption

The western section of the Boulevard will be closed from 6 to 24 January

Eighteen days of roadworks on one of the main routes through Crawley in West Sussex begin on Monday.

The western section of the Boulevard is being resurfaced as part of a bus improvement scheme.

It will be shut to west-bound traffic until 17 January, and closed completely from 20 to 24 January, between the Broadway junction and the southern service road.

It will still be possible to access businesses, car parks and residential areas.

Crawley Borough Council hopes the new road layout will improve the Boulevard for all road users

The work is to allow an extra bus lane, which it is hoped will increase the flow of traffic and speed up bus journey times.

There will also be new cycle lanes, which will link with those already installed at the eastern section of the Boulevard.
