The road is currently closed in both directions between the A2270 Polegate Bypass junction and Drusilla’s Roundabout.

At 7.20am emergency services said the A27 is expected to remain closed for several hours.

There is also heavy traffic on the A259 in both directions at Exceat Bridge as drivers avoid the A27.
