2) to authorise the 24-hour closure of the hard shoulder adjacent to:-

a) the London-bound carriageway of the M3 between a point 365 metres south-west of the centreline of the western overbridge at Junction 7 (A30) and a point 280 metres east of the centreline of Squirrel Drive overbridge; and

will take place between 22:00 and 06:00
(maximum period).
The Order will come into force on 29 July 2020 and have a maximum duration of eighteen months, ceasing when the works are complete. Traffic affected by the closures will be diverted using the next junction each way on the M3 and
A303 and return.
The temporary closures, HGV use of the outside lane, and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
