Highways England is progressing with an improvement scheme at M27 junctions in Southampton. You may recall that this scheme was presented at public consultation in autumn 2017.
 
The scheme will help to improve safety and journey time reliability, and support Southampton City Council’s efforts to improve local air quality and support regional and local economic growth.
 
Following careful consideration of all the responses and comments received, I am pleased to announce the preferred route for the scheme. It consists of improvements to Junction 8 and Windhover Roundabout to create capacity and reduce congestion by widening the slip roads, and also improvements to cycling, pedestrian and crossing facilities.
 
Details of the preferred route including technical reports relating to the selection process are available on our scheme webpage:

Brochures are also available at the following locations:
