M3 MOTORWAY (WINCHESTER) TEMPORARY TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS
Notice is hereby given that National Highways Limited has varied The M3 Motorway and A33 and A34 Trunk Roads (Winchester) (Temporary Restriction and Prohibition of Traffic) Order 2025 (a), originally made on 27th February 2025. This forms an extension of Temporary Notice NH/2026/E712 issued on 8th June 2026 (which it thereby replaces) as permitted by The Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Procedure Regulations 1992 (a), Regulation 7. The effect of the Variation is to amend the definition of "the fifth length of carriageway" to read:
a) the northbound carriageway of the M3 between a point approximately 50 metres north of the centreline of the South Downs Way footbridge and a point approximately 2070 metres north of the centreline of
the northern overbridge at M3 Junction 9 (A34); and
b) the southbound carriageway of the M3 between a point approximately in line with the centreline of the B3047 overbridge and a point approximately 165 metres south of the centreline of the B3404 overbridge.
This measure is in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake junction improvement and all associated works.
The Order will come into force on 12th June 2025.
The original Order is open-ended so both it and this variation will be revoked on completion of the works in compliance with Section 15(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Please see National Highways website for further details of when the restriction will be in force.
The temporary restrictions will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
