MOTORISTS face heavy traffic on a busy route in and out of Southampton today.

Traffic on the A326 Marchwood By-pass is backed up past the Redbridge flyover due to roadworks on the A35 Redbridge Causeway.

Millbrook Road West is full of slow moving traffic on the way out of the city as a result of the roadworks.

One lane is closed both ways but the roadworks are only due to take place today.
