M27 Junction 5 to 7 Overlay Scheme
Our recent switch to phase 2b went well, and drivers are now able to travel along the new surface in place along the outside lanes of the eastbound carriageway.
As part of the next phase of the scheme we need to close the M27 overnight, so we can undertake a variety of tasks including routine maintenance, improving sign visibility, and some technology works. We can’t complete these tasks under lane closures, so we need to close the main carriageway overnight on the dates listed below.
