These measures are in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake resurfacing, road-marking, stud and loop replacement, and all associated works. It is expected that the work will last for approximately 2 weeks starting on or after Monday 7th September 2020. The overnight closures will take place between 21:00 and 06:00 (maximum period). The Order will come into force on 5 September 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 of the M27, and by using the M271, A27, A335, and A3057. The diversion in operation will vary according to the closure in force. The temporary closures and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period. J Downham, an Official of Highways England Co Ltd.
