Improvements to the roundabout approach

Last update: November 2026

Latest updates

Hampshire County Council has appointed M Group, to carry out improvement works on the A327, on the northbound approach to Cricket Hill Roundabout. These works will include widening the road to improve safety, and provide additional space for large vehicles to navigate the roundabout approach, helping to reduce verge damage and improve the overall flow of traffic.

The works are expected to start on Monday 16 November 2026 for approximately five weeks. The works are being carried out overnight to help minimise disruption during the day, with permitted working hours between 8pm and 6am Monday to Friday only. Multi-way traffic lights on all approaches to the A327 / A30 roundabout, and a lane closure on the A30 will be in place for the duration of the works.

The construction works will include the following:

  • Widening and resurfacing the road as you approach the roundabout from the south
  • Improving road drainage, signage and road markings
  • Creating a new grass verge in the south-west corner of the roundabout
  • Clearing back overgrown grass, soil and vegetation from the footway on the eastern side to make it wider and easier to use.

Pedestrian access to the footpath on the eastern side of the A327 when approaching the Cricket Hill roundabout will be available throughout the works.

Hampshire County Council appointed M Group Highway to undertake investigatory highway works on the A30/A327 Cricket Hill Roundabout in late October 2025.

The investigation work included digging small trial holes to check the ground and plan road repairs safely. Workers also drilled small holes in the road to take samples, which help assess its condition. Ground radar surveys were carried out to locate underground utilities, and some vegetation was cleared.

Schemes Overview

Measures to improve the northbound approach to the roundabout to improve safety and reduce over running of the verge.  Please view the plan with the proposed improvements.

Funding Arrangements
Funding for the transport capital delivery schemes is separate from the County Council’s revenue budget and savings proposals. In the majority of cases funding comes from external grants and / or Section 106 contribution from developers. This funding usually has conditions that strictly control on how, where and when it can be spent.
