A23 Northbound in West Sussex Closed Due to Fuel Spill

The A23 northbound in West Sussex was closed due to a significant fuel spillage following a collision, affecting traffic between the A281 near Pyecombe and the B2117 near Muddleswood. National Highways initiated emergency resurfacing operations, and the closure was expected to last for several hours, disrupting local traffic and prompting diversions. Emergency services, including Sussex Police, were on-site for traffic management and public safety. Motorists faced delays and were advised to use alternative routes while the cleanup and repair efforts continued. Though some drivers expressed frustration over the incident, National Highways reassured the public that work was progressing to safely reopen the road. The A23 has since reopened after repairs were completed.
