Boundway Hill closure in Sway due to major works

BOUNDWAY HILL in SWAY, near Southampton, is set to experience a significant disruption as Hampshire County Council undertakes major works on the busy route. The closure of BOUNDWAY HILL will come into effect on 12 August 2026 at 08:30 and is expected to last until 14:00 on the same day.

The closure is necessary to allow for essential maintenance and improvements to be carried out on the route. Hampshire County Council, the organisation responsible for maintaining the county's roads, has scheduled the works to take place during the specified period to minimise disruption to motorists.

For drivers, this means that alternative routes will need to be taken to avoid the closure. Motorists are advised to check traffic apps and websites to plan their journeys in advance and avoid delays. The M27 and surrounding roads, such as the A326 and A33, may be busier than usual due to the diversion in place. It is essential for drivers to exercise caution and patience when navigating the area.

While the road closure is in place, residents and businesses in the area may also experience some disruption. Hampshire County Council has assured that it will do everything possible to keep the disruption to a minimum and has put in place a team to manage the works and respond to any issues that may arise.

The closure of BOUNDWAY HILL is part of a larger investment in the county's road network, aimed at improving safety, reducing congestion, and enhancing the overall travel experience for motorists. Hampshire County Council has been working closely with local residents, businesses, and stakeholders to ensure that the works are carried out with minimal disruption.

Motorists are urged to plan ahead, check for updates, and allow extra time for their journeys. Regular updates on the traffic situation will be provided on traffic apps and websites, including Road Closures UK, which provides comprehensive information on road closures and disruptions across the UK.
