Bypass threat to Goodwood?

[9.3]

This bypassed (no pun intended) me when it was published, but hopefully this is all hot air. New road is the road that runs alongside the main straight at Goodwood.

I can't see it happening surely the land that it is intended to travel along is all Goodwood estate for the vast majority of the bypass?

The solution to the grid lock is flyovers on the A27, it is the roundabouts that cause the hold ups and the traffic lights, plus the lack of dual carriageway at Arundel.
No need for a new By-Pass.

Be assured if a by-pass meant more money into the Goodwood Estate coffers his Earlship would move heaven & earth to ensure it is built.

CONFIRMED: Northern A27 route dropped

"The government has confirmed that no alternative A27 routes around Chichester will be now be considered.

It means neither a new northern bypass through Lavant, or a partial new southern route, will be built, and instead the junctions on the existing stretch will be upgraded."

While I'm glad this means the hallowed environs of Goodwood will remain sacrosanct...

...yeah, fking righto The only way the current road could be improved is to build a huge flyover for the entire Chichester ring-road. It's currently one of the worst clusterfks in any road network, anywhere. The only way to improve it is to not have any traffic use it. Ever. Then it might just about cope

Don't see how they can do anything more than a few road islands and lots of white paint in a year. The suggested 2-3 years is more realistic for flyovers and the like.
