Notice is hereby given that Highways England Company Limited intends to make an Order on the M3 Motorway in the County of Hampshire, 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 would be, in alternate phases, to:-
1. authorise -

(a) the overnight closure of the M3 -

(i) coastbound between Junction 5 (A287) and Junction 12 (A335), and

(ii) London-bound between Junction 12 (A335) and Junction 4A (A327);

(b) the overnight closure of all slip roads leading to and from the lengths of carriageway described in 1. (a) above; and

(c) the overnight hard-shoulder running on the coast-bound carriageway of the M3 between a point 800 metres west of the entry slip road at Junction 5 (A287) and a point 800 metres north east of the exit slip road at Junction 7 (A30), and all slip roads leading to and from this length; and

(d) the overnight hard-shoulder running on the London-bound carriageway of the M3 between a point 800 metres east of the entry slip road at Junction 5 (A287) and

a point 800 metres east of the entry slip road at Fleet Services, and all slip roads leading to and from this length.
2. impose an overnight 50 mph speed limit on lengths of carriageway and slip roads described in 1. (c) and (d) above.

These measures would be in the interests
of road safety while contractors undertake
resurfacing works and all associated works.
It is expected that the work would last for
approximately 7 months starting on or after
Tuesday 6th February 2018. The overnight
closures would take place between 21:00 and
06:00 (maximum period).
The Order would come into force on
4 February 2018 and have a maximum duration
of eighteen months.
Traffic affected by the closures would be diverted using the A30, A31, A33, A34, A271, A287, A3090, Main Road, Otterbourne Hill, Otterbourne Road and the unnamed road. The diversion route would vary depending on the closure in place.
The temporary speed limits, hard shoulder running, closures and diversion routes would be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
