The main A27 leaves Arundel on the right travelling through a cutting excavated in the early 19th century to allow a better gradient for coaches. Another plan in the latter half of that century to improve the gradient again involved excavating a cutting on the left, however, whilst the work was down the main road wasn't moved and subsequently the new cutting became Torton Hill Road and Canada Road.
