A34 Three Maids Hill – Bridge Repairs

I wanted to write and provide you with an update on the dates of the closures for the bridge repair work taking place at the Three Maids Hill junction.

The latest progress report shows that closures on the A34 southbound (between the A303 and Kings Worthy) will finish on the morning of Wednesday 14 July.

Then from Friday 16 July to Wednesday 29 September, the A34 northbound carriageway will be closed overnight between the exit and entry slip roads at Three Maids Hill only. Traffic will be diverted off the A34 via the exit slip road at the junction, around the Three Maids Hill roundabout, then re-join the A34 via the northbound entry slip road.

All closures will be between 9pm and 6am, Monday to Friday nights only. Diversions

During southbound closures, signed diversions are in place via the A303 and M3 for motorway permitted vehicles, and via the A303 and A33 for nonmotorway vehicles. The B3420 Andover Road North from Three Maids Hill towards Winchester is not an approved diversion for this project, as it is highly populated with residential properties.

We’d advise all motorists to stick to the signed diversion routes as they have been chosen with both suitability and safety in mind. We’d also encourage drivers to stick to speed limits and follow appropriate signage to ensure the safety of fellow road users.

Please note that these works are subject to change, due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. We’ll advertise the closures on yellow signs placed in advance at the junction and alongside the A34, as well as via our Highways England South East twitter account.

We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption you may experience during this work.

If you have any questions, or if you would like to know about our work, please contact us on 0300 123 5000 or email info@highwaysengland.co.uk.
