Opened in 1997 to provide easier access for the expanding town of Burgess Hill with the A23. Previously, travellers either used the A272 and B2036 via Ansty or those with a little more local knowledge used the Job's Lane turning at Hickstead and a series of country lanes via Goddard's Green into the western edge of town. The former was problematic as it also carried all of Haywards Heath's traffic whilst the latter turned narrow country lanes into rat runs. Taken from the crossroads with two minor routes, Stairbridge Lane and Pookbourne Lane, the old style finger post has been moved from Job's Corner.
