Coming along the A27 from the west, the field on the left just next to the dyke roundabout (left to dyke, right to dyke road roundabout) has what appears to be a winding road being built through the middle of it. Any ideas what it's for or where it's going ?

Thanking the most knowledgeable place on all things Brighton.

(And no prizes for saying they are building a road :dunce:)

I do not know, however, the one at Mill Hill back of Southwick was for the cables connecting the Rampion wind-farm off Worthing to the national grid further up the county. May be a similar cable laying project.

I thought maybe that at first but it looks like the blackstuff is going down now

Not sure there are many places a road there can go. The small field with the barn immediately to the left of the slip road up to the roundabout is part of Court Farm (I think, at least it used to be) which is being developed but the news article doesn't mention the barn at all: https://www.brightonandhoveindepend...ew-blocks-of-flats-in-hove-approved-1-7768872

Maybe it is being used as site storage for the development?

They should have tarmaced that, it would have made a cracking cycle route. :lol: :facepalm:

I've been googling it and apparently it's a runway for our friends at Southwick Tunnel.

It winds that way to get them spinning :thumbsup:
