SOUTHAMPTON'S motorists will have six closures to avoid this week – including emergency works on a key road.

Some drivers will have to wait up to 45 minutes on their regular routes as contractors continue with upgrades.

These are the closures to be aware of this week:

  • Lane two, eastbound into Southampton, on the Redbridge Causeway is likely to remain closed for at least a couple of days due to a collapsed utility cover. Southern Water has been alerted and will send operatives to the site as soon as possible. The cover collapsed today (January 11).
