Road Closure: WIDE LANE — Southampton

Motorists in the Southampton area are advised to plan their journeys in advance as Wide Lane in Eastleigh will be affected by roadworks from 26 October 2026 at 21:00 to 31 October 2026 at 06:00. The roadworks, which are being carried out by Hampshire County Council, are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic flow. Drivers who regularly use Wide Lane should consider alternative routes to avoid potential delays and congestion.

Hampshire County Council has scheduled the roadworks as part of their standard maintenance programme, aiming to improve the condition and safety of the road. While the works are taking place, drivers may experience slower traffic and should allow extra time for their journeys. It is essential for motorists to check for updates on traffic conditions before embarking on their travels. Utilising traffic apps and online resources can help drivers navigate the area more efficiently and avoid the affected stretch of Wide Lane.

The roadworks will take place overnight, from 21:00 to 06:00, to minimise the impact on daytime traffic. However, drivers who need to travel during these hours should be prepared for potential delays. Hampshire County Council is working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, but motorists should still plan their journeys carefully. Considering alternative routes, such as using the M27 or M3 motorways, may help reduce travel times and avoid congestion.

Drivers can stay up-to-date with the latest traffic information and plan their journeys in advance by checking online resources, such as traffic apps and websites. These tools provide real-time information on traffic conditions, helping motorists make informed decisions about their routes. Additionally, Hampshire County Council's website may have further information on the roadworks and any associated disruptions.

Motorists are advised to check for updates on the roadworks and plan their journeys accordingly.
