M27 MOTORWAY – JUNCTIONS 8 TO 11
TEMPORARY TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS
Notice is hereby given that National Highways Limited has made an Order on the M27 Motorway in the County of Hampshire, under Sections 14(1)(a) and 15(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 because works are proposed to be executed on the road.
The effect of the Order is to:-
1. authorise the closure of –
(a) both carriageways of the M27 between Junction 9 (A27) and Junction 11 (A27), and all slip roads leading to and from said carriageways; and
(b) any Emergency Refuge Area adjacent to the lengths of carriageway described in (a) above.
2. impose a 24-hour 50mph speed limit on –
(a) the eastbound carriageway of the M27 between the centre point of Junction 8 (A3024) and a point approximately 512 metres east of the centreline of the eastern overbridge at Junction 11 (A27);
(b) the westbound carriageway of the M27 between a point approximately
160 metres west of the centreline of Skew Road overbridge and a point
approximately 50 metres west of the centreline of the eastern overbridge at
Junction 9 (A27);
(c) the road leading to the eastbound carriageway of the M27 at Junction 9
(A27); and
(d) the roads leading to both carriageways of the M27 at Junction 11 (A27).

(c) the road leading from the westbound carriageway of the M27 at Junction 11 (A27).
There will also be lane closures and narrowed lanes not requiring the cover of an order.
These measures are in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake junction improvement works including adding two new slips and all associated work. It is expected that the work will last for approximately 1 1/2 years starting on or after Monday 3rd March 2025, but provision has been
made for a longer duration under Section 15(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act in the event of work over-running. See below. The overnight carriageway closures will take place between 21:00 hours and 06:00. Please see National
Highways website for details.
The Order will come into force on 1st March 2025 and continue until completion of the works, at which point the order will be formally revoked,
as required by the terms of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 Section 15(2).
Traffic affected by the closures will be diverted using other junctions on the M27 and by using the A27.
The temporary closures, speed limits, and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works
period.
