Road closure: Chichester Road, Bognor Regis for essential gas main replacement
From Monday 1 June to Friday 25 September 2026, our contractors, JB Utilities Limited, will carry out a programme of work to replace the gas main along Chichester Road in Bognor Regis.
These works are essential to ensure we can continue to provide residents and the community with a safe and efficient gas supply and to avoid gas leaks in the future.
We will be replacing old metal gas pipes with new plastic gas pipes on Chichester Road from the junction of Loats Lane to Fairlands.
Due to the location of the gas pipes in the road, for everyone’s safety, we will need to temporarily close the road in three phases as follows. Please note: the dates below may change, as progress depends on the condition of the gas pipe being replaced and access to properties for service connections. Residents affected will receive further communications regarding service connections.
Phase one
Monday 1 June to Monday 22 June
Temporary road closure on Chichester Road from the junction of The Boulevard to the junction of North Bersted Street.
Phase two
Monday 22 June to Friday 21 August
Temporary road closure on Chichester Road from the junction of The Boulevard to just south of Loats Lane.
Phase three
Monday 24 August to Friday 25 September
Temporary road closure on Chichester Road from the junction of Fairlands to North Bersted Street.
These closures will mean
- No through vehicle access through the closure in either direction – a signed diversion route will be in place
- Vehicle access to properties and side roads within the closure will be maintained – our site team will keep residents informed of arrangements
- Pedestrian and cycle access through the closure will be maintained
- Bus routes will be affected – please contact your service provider for the latest updates
- Bin collection days will remain unchanged unless you hear otherwise
We understand how disruptive road closures can be for road users and the community; our engineers will be working as quickly and as safely as possible to complete these works.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience our work causes and thank you for your patience and understanding.
