Road Closure: ST PETERS ROAD/HYLTON ROAD FOOTPATH — Portsmouth

A roadworks scheme is set to cause disruption to pedestrians and drivers in Petersfield, with the St Peters Road/Hylton Road footpath affected from 04 August 2026 at 00:00 to 06 August 2026 at 00:00. The minor works, being carried out by Hampshire County Council, are expected to have a medium level of severity, and may cause some delays for those using the footpath. Located near the city of Portsmouth, the roadworks are likely to impact local residents and commuters who regularly use this route.

The highway authority has planned the works to take place over a short period, minimising the disruption to the local community. However, pedestrians and drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes where possible. By doing so, they can avoid any potential delays and reduce the impact of the roadworks on their daily commute. It is also recommended that drivers check traffic apps and websites for the latest updates on traffic conditions before setting out, allowing them to make informed decisions about their route.

Hampshire County Council has organised the roadworks as part of their ongoing maintenance programme, aiming to improve the condition of the footpath and ensure it remains safe for use. While the works are taking place, pedestrians may be diverted onto alternative routes, and drivers may experience some delays. The council has apologised for any inconvenience this may cause and is working to complete the works as quickly as possible.

To avoid any potential disruption, pedestrians and drivers are advised to check for updates on the roadworks before setting out. This can be done by visiting the website of Hampshire County Council or by checking social media for the latest information. Additionally, drivers can use traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps to get real-time updates on traffic conditions and plan their route accordingly. By taking a few simple steps, pedestrians and drivers can minimise the impact of the roadworks and ensure their journey is as smooth as possible.
