According to traffic sources, there are delays on the A23 southbound between Pyecombe and Patcham after the minor incident near the A27[1] intersection.

Meanwhile, there is slow and queueing traffic on A27 Pevensey Bypass – reportedly due to swans on the carriageway, with motorists advised to approach with caution.

On the A27, eastbound, there is reportedly queuing traffic towards the Southerham roundabout in Lewes.

Southern Rail said trains to and from Eastbourne ‘are expected to be busy’ on the final day of the Eastbourne International Airshow.

"There will be a queueing system at the station to allow everyone to get home safely,” a spokesperson for Southern said.
