The traffic management is necessary to safely reduce the number of lanes on the motorway from four to three. This ensures the safety of passing motorway users and construction staff working on the embankments, particularly around the area of a new underpass which will be delivered by the scheme. The lane reduction and 50mph speed limit on this section of the M27 will be in place for approximately 12 months whilst the project is underway.
Improvements are being made to the M27 Junction 10 to support the development of Welborne Garden Village, a new community of up to 6000 homes just outside Fareham in Hampshire and to provide easier access to the M27.
Hampshire County Council is delivering the scheme, working closely with National Highways. The scheme is being funded by Buckland Group, the developer of Welborne Garden Village and by Homes England.
Road users are advised that lane reductions and closures can be subject to changes at short notice.
