Over the coming year, we will be progressing with the improvements to the M27 Junction 10. Hampshire County Council is delivering the scheme, working closely with National Highways, and has appointed VolkerFitzpatrick as the main contractor.
The improvements will include;
- Construction of a new motorway underpass west of M27 Junction 10;
- Addition of three new slip roads;
- Creation of a new dual carriageway to link the slip roads to the existing road network, forming a ‘free flowing link’ at Junction 10, providing easier access to the M27;
- Provision for people that walk, cycle and horse-ride.
This package of upgrades will support the development of Welborne Garden Village, a new community of up to 6000 homes just outside Fareham in Hampshire, improving local connectivity and traffic flow in the area.To support this phase of the scheme, several full and partial overnight closures on the M27 will be necessary in late March and early April – some of which will be limited to between Junction 9 and 10 – and some extending between Junction 9 and 11. This is needed to install traffic management which will reduce the number of lanes on the motorway at this section from four to three for the duration of the works.
The measures will enable work on the motorway embankments and in the area around the underpass to be undertaken more safely. Please monitor this scheme web page for exact dates and further information.
