Delays are building
A motorway crash is causing ‘severe delays’ this morning, with congestion backing miles.
Drivers should allow extra travel time during rush hour as they face a lane closure on the M3 following a crash, which was first reported to the AA traffic planner just before 7am (October 13).
The AA said: “Long delays and one lane blocked due to accident on M3 Northbound before J13 A335 Leigh Road (Chandlers Ford). Congestion to M27 J7 (Hedge End) as traffic joins.
“Travel time is around 35 minutes.”
