Temporary traffic lights that caused chaos at a busy Southampton junction at the end of May have returned.

Those who work in Ocean Village or in the south of the city centre may need to allow extra time to commute, as utility company SGN are back at the connection between Canute Road, Platform Road and Terminus Terrace.

According to Southampton City Council's interactive traffic map, the works are expected to last until 11.59pm on June 5.

Multi-way temporary traffic lights are in place, as they were last time when SGN repaired a gas escape, pictured above.

On the morning of May 28, the works caused chaos, with queues of cars being gridlocked in all three directions.

The Echo understands traffic is not being affected badly tonight but it is currently unclear if it will take until 11.59pm on June 5 to complete the works.

One eyewitness said: "Part of the road has been dug up and it looks like another bit has been patched over.

"You can see SGN signage all over the works."
