National Highways confirms multiple M27 road closures as multi-million pound resurfacing project continues
National Highways has confirmed that there will be a number of slip road closures in place over the next few weeks.
National Highways is continuing its £83m improvement scheme in February 2024 in a bid to create longer lasting roads using ‘innovative technology’. The project will provide a low-noise surface along the M27 between junctions 5 and 7.
The concrete will be overlaid with 180mm of low noise surface asphalt and as a result, improvements will also be made to the drainage system and central reservations.
National Highways has confirmed that there will be closures overnight between 9pm and 6am from January 21 until February 7 - and diversions will be in place.
The closures will be as follows:
Tuesday, January 21 and Wednesday, January 22:
M27 junction 5 eastbound entry slip road and M27 junction 5, 7 and 8 eastbound exit slip roads.
Thursday, January 23:
M27 junction 7 westbound entry and exit slip roads and M27 junction 8 westbound entry slip road.
Friday, January 24 and Saturday, January 25:
Sunday, January 26 and Monday, January 27:
M27 junction 5 westbound exit slip road.
Tuesday, January 28 to Thursday, January 30:
M27 junction 7 westbound entry and exit slip roads and M27 junction 8 westbound entry slip road.
Friday, January 31 to Sunday, February 2:
M27 junction 7 westbound entry slip road.
Monday, February 3 and Tuesday, February4:
M27 junction 5 westbound exit slip road.
Wednesday, February 5:
