Road Closure: LONDON ROAD — Portsmouth

London Road in Waterlooville will be affected by roadworks from 20:00 on 2 November 2026 to 06:00 on 21 November 2026, with the Hampshire County Council overseeing the maintenance. The works, classified as major, are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic flow, and drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid potential delays. Located near the city of Portsmouth, this stretch of London Road is a key route for commuters and locals alike, and the roadworks may impact travel times for those heading to and from the city.

The Hampshire County Council has scheduled the roadworks to take place overnight, minimising the impact on daytime traffic, but drivers should still expect some disruption to their usual routes. To avoid congestion, motorists are advised to use alternative routes, such as the A3 or A27, which may add some time to their journeys but can help reduce the risk of getting stuck in traffic. Additionally, drivers can check traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, for up-to-the-minute information on traffic conditions and roadworks, helping them to plan their routes more effectively.

The roadworks on London Road are part of the council's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the local road network, ensuring that roads remain safe and well-maintained for all users. While the works may cause some short-term disruption, they are essential for the long-term health of the road network, and the council is working to complete the project as quickly and efficiently as possible. In the meantime, drivers are urged to be patient and to follow any diversion signs or instructions from traffic management teams, who will be working to keep traffic flowing smoothly.

For drivers who regularly use London Road, it may be worth considering alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or car-sharing, to reduce the number of vehicles on the road and alleviate some of the pressure on the network. By working together and planning ahead, drivers can help to minimise the impact of the roadworks and reduce the risk of congestion and delays. As the roadworks progress, the Hampshire County Council will be providing regular updates on their website and social media channels, keeping drivers informed about the latest developments and any changes to the schedule.
