West Sussex County Council said traffic management will be essential when works start on Monday, ‘for the safety of both road users and the workforce’.
A spokesperson said: “Please be aware that delays may be likely on these cycleway routes. Our contractor will try to minimise disruption as much as possible and we apologise for any inconvenience.

“This could prevent the need for future traffic management and additional inconvenience.”
The complete removal of Chichester’s pop-up cycle lanes was finally confirmed by the county council this week.

Detail on the other schemes will be announced in ‘due course’, the county council said.
