“One lane closed and speed restriction of 50 mph due to long-term construction on M27 both ways at J8 A3024 for the Bursledon and Hamble area,” AA Traffic Map says.

Traffic is also moving slowly at junction 5 Stoneham Way and junction 7 for Hedge End. The roadworks are in place due to concrete resurfacing works.

Overnight closures have been planned on the motorway this week until September 16.
