DRIVERS are being urged to plan their journey and ensure they have plenty of water in their cars as the M27 closure is expected to cause significant disruption. 

Andrew Winson, project manager for Highways England, has urged residents to defer their journey if they can or plan it in advance. 

The news comes as the M27 will be closed between junction 3 (for Southampton City Centre) and junction 4 (for the M3) from 10pm on June 28 to 5am on July 1.

The closure will allow for the Romsey Road Bridge to be replaced. 

 

As the south will continue to bask in the heatwave, Mr Winson has also urged drivers to ensure they have plenty of water in their cars as delays are expected.
