MOTORISTS using two major roads in Portsmouth are facing disruptions this morning after two crashes.
Two lanes were blocked on the eastbound carriageway of the road on Havant Bypass at Farlington following an RTI.
The lanes have cleared now but delays remain.
An RTI on the M275 at junction 1 for Tipner, had resulted in a lane being blocked on the southbound carriageway causing delays on the M27.
This incident has now cleared.
Police were called to both collisions this morning.
A force spokeswoman said: ‘We were called at 6.59am to reports of a single vehicle collision on the M275 southbound, near to the Park and Ride exit, after a white Ford Fiesta was in collision with the central reservation. The vehicle was blocking two lanes, a lane closure was put into place to allow us to deal with this incident. No injuries were reported.
‘We were then called at 7.18 to reports of a collision on the A27 eastbound, just past the Eastern Road flyover. The collision involved a Vauxhall Astra and a Ford Focus. No injuries have been reported.
‘The latter should be cleared now, both vehicles have been recovered.’
