2. impose an overnight 50 mph speed limit on lengths of carriageway and slip roads described in 1. (c) and (d) above.

safety while contractors undertake resurfacing

Tuesday 6th February 2018. The overnight

closures will take place between 21:00 and

06:00 (maximum period).

The Order will come into force on 4 February 2018

and have a maximum duration of eighteen months.

Traffic affected by the closures will be diverted

using the A30, A31, A33, A34, A271, A287,

A3090, Main Road, Otterbourne Hill, Otterbourne Road and the unnamed road. The diversion route will vary depending on the closure in place. The temporary speed limits, hard shoulder running, closures and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
