Just had a quick read of the new Arundel Bypass Consultation documents (I stayed up tonight just for this, I feel a little special TBH xd)
There are Six routes proposed this time round. Orginally there was 5 (plus variations) with 3 shortlisted.
Like previous routes, they have named them using colours, and their numbers seem to be similar to the previous numbering, but just with a version on the end.
CYAN (1V5)

Similar to old option of a short new S2 bypass over the floodplain, new bridge, then upgrading the A27 west of the roundabout to D2. However closing of local road network junctions from the A27, using local road network to access properties instead.
BEIGE (1V9)

Similar to CYAN, however junction with Ford Road would become a "through about", which im guessing the same as what we call a Hamburger.
CRIMSON (3V1)

A short D2 bypass of Arundel, new road across floodplain, new bridge and then cuts through large amount of woodland to join the A27 near where the current D2/S2 sections meet.
MAGENTA (4/5AV1)

A brand new route that hasn't been consulted on before, its kinda a half way between the old options 4 & 5, however avoiding Binstead Woods. Would change the local road layout south of the A27 at the current junction of B2132, closing a few roads and seems to pass very near to homes and through the golf course.
AMBER (4/5AV2)

Looks dead same as old option 5a, which was the prefered option last time by HE.
GREY (5BV1)

Just avoids the national park and acient woodlands by taking a longer route and rejoins the A27 nearer Fontwell.
They have also included statistics on the time saved, homes effects, WOODLAND impacted and distance within the national park, just to rub it in the faces of the tree huggers and anti-road parties that their prefered route of a new road is actually better than just upgrading the current one.
Junction with Ford Road, they have excluded a junction with Ford Road in all their offline plans, however it is possilble to add a junction there and open to the consideration of having the additional junction
