3-12
Notice is hereby given that Highways England Company Limited has made an Order on the M3 Motorway in the Counties of Hampshire and Surrey, under Section 14(1)(a) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 because works are proposed to be executed on the road. The effect of the Order is:
1) to authorise the overnight phased closure of:-

a) the southbound carriageway of the M3 (in phased sections) between the tip of the nosing of the exit slip road at Junction 7 (A30) and the tip of the nosing of the entry slip road at Junction 10 (A31);

b) the northbound carriageway of the M3 (in phased sections) between the tip of the nosing of the exit slip road at Junction 9 (A272) and the tip of the nosing of the entry slip road at Junction

7 (A30);
c) the roads leading to and from both carriageways of the M3 at Junction 7 (Dummer Interchange) (A30);

d) the roads connecting both carriageways of the M3 to both carriageways of the A303 Trunk Road at Junction 8
(Popham Junction) (A303);

e) the roads leading to and from both carriageways of the M3 at Winchester Services;

f) the roads leading to and from both carriageways of the M3 at Junction 9 (Winnall Interchange) (A34);

g) the roads leading to and from both carriageways of the M3 at Junction 10 (A31);

h) the roads leading to and from the London-bound carriageway of the M3 at Junction 11 (A3090);

i) the road leading from the coast-bound carriageway of the M3 at Junction 11 (A3090);

j) the roads leading to and from the coast-bound carriageway of the M3 at Junction 12 (A335); and

(A335); and

2) to authorise the 24-hour phased closure of the hard shoulder adjacent the London-bound carriageway of the M3 between a point 760 metres north of the centreline of Bridgets Lane overbridge and a point on the Winchester Services exit slip 182 metres north of its divergence from the main carriageway. These measures are in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake resurfacing, road-marking, stud replacement, barrier replacement, and all associated work. The work is part of a package extending from Junctions 3 to 12. It is expected that the work will last for approximately 4 months starting on or after Wednesday 1st April 2020. Specific closures will be advised in advance on the road and Highways England's website. The overnight closures will take place between 21:00 and 06:00 during the week and 21:00 and 07:00 at weekends (maximum periods). The Order will come into force on 30 March 2020 and have a maximum duration of eighteen months, ceasing when the works are complete.
Traffic affected by the closures will be diverted using other junctions on the M3, and by using
the A30, A31, A34, A272, A287, and A303.
The diversion in operation will vary according to the closure in force.
Access for staff and hotel guests at Winchester Services will be maintained under gated control and escort.
The temporary closures and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
