Police incident closes Sussex roads; tunnel reopens

Emergency incidents across Sussex are causing significant travel disruptions on September 21, with the A26 closed near Lewes due to a police welfare concern and severe delays reported on the A27. The Cuilfail Tunnel in Lewes was shut for both directions following an incident involving emergency services but has since re-opened after traffic sensors confirmed safety. Additionally, two vehicles collided near Jevington Road, Wannock, partially blocking Old Mill Lane and causing up to ten-minute delays at nearby roundabouts on the A27 and A259. Emergency repairs are also underway on a section of the A26 in Little Horsted between Worth Lane and the Little Horsted Roundabout. Fire department activity is currently present on Grouse Road near Horsham, blocking traffic from Forest Road to Hammerpond Road while three fire engines respond. While one alert notes that sensors show traffic can now pass the repair scene in Little Horsted, motorists are generally advised to avoid affected areas and expect ongoing congestion as services recover.
