MORE work and closures will be in place next week as part of a bid to improve Redbridge Roundabout.
Highways England will be starting work on Monday, October 5, to complement other junction improvement work at junctions 5 and 7 in a bid to improve journey times, reduce congestion and support local and strategic economic growth.
The Redbridge scheme comes after a six-month project to improve the nearby Millbrook Roundabout finished on April 7.
The scheme, set to cost between £8.5 million and £15.5 million, will add an extra lane to ease congestion for vehicles travelling from the motorway to the city centre and the port.
What work will take place?
- Free-flow lanes are to be added from the M271 Southampton towards the port
- Shared paths to be improved
- A new footbridge will be installed
- Signals that give buses priority are to be removed
- Widening the Roundabout
- Hundreds of new shrubs and trees to be planted
