Highways England will be replacing the A3057 Romsey Road bridge over the M27 as the bridge is coming to the final stages of its useful life. The current structure is made up of separate east and west bridges.
The purpose of the first weekend closure was to demolish the west bridge, the second closure saw the new bridge installed, and the third closure will be for demolition of the eastern half of the old bridge. Highways England has scheduled closures to complete the bridge replacement works; at present work is scheduled on:
- Friday 28 September to Monday 1 October 2018 [COMPLETED]

- 22:00 Friday 31 January 2020 to 06:00 Monday 3 February 2020 [COMPLETED re-opened at 00:27 Monday 3 Feb]
The weekend closure of the M27 in January 2020 between junctions 3 (M271) to 4 (M3) and the A3057 Romsey Road will allow the remaining part of the old bridge to be demolished and Romsey Road to be realigned with the new bridge.
