MOTORISTS were facing huge tailbacks this morning after police closed a busy section of the M3 near Southampton.
Officers have yet to reveal why both carriageways of the road have been shut at junction 13 saying only that it was for "police operational reasons".
Queues were stretching several miles in both directions following the incident shortly after 6.30am.
A spokesman said the road would be reopened as soon as possible.
