The effect of the Order would be, in phases, to:-
1. authorise the overnight closure and 24-hour weekend closure of -

(a) both carriageways of the M271 between Junction 1 (Nursling Interchange) and Redbridge Roundabout (A33/A35), and all slip roads leading to and from this length;

(b) Redbridge Roundabout (M271/A33/A35);

(c) the slip roads leading to and from the A33 at Redbridge Roundabout (M271/A33/A35);

(d) all side roads at junction with Redbridge Roundabout (M271/A33/A35) and the slip roads described in 1. (c) above;

(e) any bus stop adjacent to the slip roads described in 1. (c) above;

(f) the bus lane adjacent to the A33 westbound off slip between its junction with Old Redbridge Road and Redbridge Roundabout; and

(g) the footpaths, pedestrian crossings, footbridges and subways adjacent to 1. (b), (c), and (d) above.

2. impose a 24-hour 50mph speed limit and overtaking ban on -

(a) the M271 southbound between M27 Junction 3 and Redbridge Roundabout (M271/A33/A35); and

(b) the M271 northbound between Redbridge Roundabout (M271/A33/A35) and Junction 1 (Nursling Interchange).

3. impose a 24-hour 30mph speed limit on the roundabout and slip roads described in 1. (b) and (c) above.

5. impose a 24-hour width restriction of 3.0 metres on the slip roads described in 1. (c) above.

These measures would be in the interests
of road safety while contractors undertake
carriageway works, footpath works, footbridge
works, subway maintenance, electrical works
and all associated works.
It is expected that the work would last for
approximately 6 months starting on or after
Wednesday 1st May 2019. The overnight
closures would take place between 21:00 and
05:00 (maximum period).
The Order would come into force on
29th April 2019 and have a maximum duration
of six months (subject to completion of works,
the Order may be extended).
Traffic affected by the closures would be
diverted using the A33, A35, A3057 and
Brownhill Way. The diversion route would vary
depending on direction of travel. Pedestrian
diversion routes would be available, including
temporary pedestrian crossings.
The temporary speed limit, narrow lanes,
overtaking ban, closures and diversion routes
would be clearly indicated by traffic signs when
they are in operation during the works period.
