Smart motorway event

Highways England are currently working with Mott MacDonald to design the smart motorway scheme between junctions 4 and 11 of the M27.

Solent LEP are hosting a session in September where businesses can learn more about the scheme from Highways England, as well as the measures being considered to mitigate the impact of the construction phase. You'll also have the opportunity to give feedback on the proposed plans.
