According to The Argus (http://www.theargus.co.uk/li/traffic.detail.7151168/?ref=ltp) -

A283 Old Shoreham Road both ways closed due to burst water main between A259 Brighton Road and A27 Shoreham By-Pass. There's a burst water main outside the Red Lion Inn and the road has collapsed. Traffic was already slow in the area because of traffic avoiding the A27 flooding.

The map has the incident near the Bridge Inn, rather than the Lion Inn, which would be accurate for the Brighton Road description. I'm guessing someone just got their local Inns wrong. "The road has collapsed" sounds pretty scary.

Not good with the A27 already pretty gridlocked due to 1 lane being closed.

That road from the Red Lion up to the flyover has been flooded all week, not good to drive through either side of the road.

Picture here suggests it's right outside Red Lion, just north of mini roundabout

Nightmare. Tried to join the A27 at Lancing but access road leading to roundabout closed. Took a detour along to Shoreham to join it there but again access closed. Third time lucky though at Portslade

That Lancing road has been closed since as least last Fri, on the southbound anyway.
