Full list of M27 road closures this week as smart motorway roadworks get underway

Some stretches of the motorway will have two lanes closed during the night while work is going on.

Highways England has already confirmed the conversion of the 15-mile stretch of the road into a smart motorway, between Junction 4 and Junction 11, will launch on Monday January 7.

Over the next two and a half years the route will be turned into an '˜all four lanes running' motorway. 

Night lane closures will begin on Wednesday, with daytime lane closures starting from next week.

The start of the work will also mean average speed cameras, currently in place above the motorway, will be turned on to help enforce speed restrictions.

Here is a full list of road closures in place along the M27 this week. They cover Junction 10/9 (Fareham), Junction 8 (Whiteley), Junction 7 (Hedge End), Junction 5 (Southampton Airport) and Junction 4 (M3).
