We’re continuing to make good progress with phase one of the scheme. We’ve recently started drainage repairs, while 90% of the central reservation has been excavated.
We now need to undertake several activities that will require overnight closures of the M3 southbound to M27 eastbound link road, and the M27 junction 4 eastbound carriageway to junction 8. The closures will take place each evening from 20 May to 23 May 2024, between 9.00pm and 6.00am.
The activities include: Technology works, Concrete repairs, Removal of existing CCTV units, Road edge markings, Drainage surveys
We’ll also use the opportunity to undertake a variety of maintenance activities, including gully cleaning and litter picking.
We’re not able to complete the works under lane closures, or within our existing traffic management, as we need the space to ensure the safety of our operatives doing the work.
Impact on local communities
Our work may be noisy at times, and we’ll try to reduce noise as much as possible, as well as aiming to carry out the noisiest work during the earliest part of the night. We apologise in advance for any disturbance caused as a result of our work.
Diversion information
M27 eastbound - During the closures, road users travelling eastbound on the M27 will need to join the M3 northbound and exit at junction 13. After leaving the M3 at junction 13 follow Leigh Road/A335 eastbound, and then turn right onto the A335 travelling southbound. Following this, turn left onto Wide Lane lane travelling southbound, and continue until reaching the A27. Drivers will then need to follow the A27 eastbound until reaching the M27 at junction 8.
M3 southbound - Road users travelling southbound on the M3 will need to exit at junction 13.

Following this, turn left onto Wide Lane lane travelling southbound, and continue until reaching the A27. Drivers will then need to follow the A27 eastbound until reaching the M27 at junction 8.
