The A29 Shripney Road in West Sussex reopened on February 13 after flooding that began on February 2, with over 12 million litres of water pumped from the highway. Traffic management measures include a 20mph speed limit and temporary traffic lights due to residual flooding.

The West Sussex County Council (WSCC) is collaborating with agencies to propose long-term solutions to flooding challenges. Officials emphasize the ongoing risk of additional flooding and the need for continued monitoring.

Recent severe weather has led to extensive road maintenance efforts, with over 3,000 drains cleared and more than 1,800 potholes repaired. A formal flood investigation was initiated following previous flooding incidents.
