Road Closure: STATION ROAD — Southampton

Motorists in Southampton are being advised of a significant disruption to their journeys as Station Road in the city will be closed from 28 September 2026 at 23:00 until 30 September 2026 at 22:59. The closure, which is being carried out by Southampton City Council, is due to major works, specifically a Priority Area for Attention (PAA), and is expected to have a medium impact on traffic in the area. The closure will affect Station Road in its entirety, and drivers are being warned to expect delays and plan their journeys accordingly.

The closure is a result of essential maintenance work being undertaken by Southampton City Council, the highway authority responsible for the road. The council has confirmed that the work is necessary to ensure the road remains safe for all users, and although it may cause some disruption, it is a vital part of their ongoing maintenance programme. Drivers who normally use Station Road are being advised to use alternative routes to avoid the closure, and to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out.

To minimise delays, drivers are being encouraged to plan their journeys in advance, allowing extra time to reach their destinations. They can use online route-finding tools or traffic apps to find the best alternative routes, and to stay up-to-date with the latest traffic information. Additionally, drivers can tune into local radio stations for updates on traffic conditions, and follow Southampton City Council's social media accounts for the latest information on the closure. By taking a few simple precautions, drivers can help to reduce the impact of the closure and ensure their journeys are as smooth as possible.

Southampton City Council is working to complete the necessary work as quickly as possible, and to minimise the disruption to drivers. The council appreciates the patience and understanding of motorists during this time, and is confident that the end result will be worth the temporary inconvenience.
