One lane either way opposite the Lancing Manor Leisure Centre on the A27 has been closed, with drivers taking more then 40 minutes to get from Holmbush to Lancing, while eastbound tailbacks lead back to Manor Roundabout.
The roadworks are said to be carried out by Southern Water, but no official comment has been made.
It has been said the delays should clear up by tomorrow’s morning rush hour.
