A27 Improvement

A27 Chichester bypas current status

The A27 Chichester bypass is one of 32 schemes identified by Department for Transport (DfT) and National Highways for possible inclusion in the third Road Investment Strategy (RIS3) pipeline. RIS3 will run from 2025 to 2030. For more information on RIS3 visit Road investment strategy.

Funding

There is no commitment to build any of the RIS3 pipeline schemes. All our timelines are indicative and subject to change. However, the work we do now will help DfT to decide which schemes to progress. The DfT will decide which pipeline schemes will be selected for further development during their Decision Phase (2023 to 2024). They’ll assess the scheme against a range of factors including the scheme’s value for money, public support, environmental impact, affordability and feasibility.

How to be kept up to date
