A little bit out of our local area, but a heads up that overnight closures of the M27 are planning in a few weeks time.
Maintenance to the bridge at Junction 8, the Windhover Interchange, is being undertaken. National Highways need to carry out repairs to the joints and put in some waterproofing to protect the bridge from severe weather. These joints allow the bridge to expand and contract in different temperatures and can become damaged if exposed to too much rain.
