Sections of the M27 and M3 will be closed overnight for repair and maintenance works, National Highways has warned.

Parts of the motorways in Hampshire will be shut between 21:00 and 06:00 BST from Monday to Thursday.

The M3 southbound to M27 eastbound link road, and the eastbound M27 from junction 4, near Chilworth to junction 8, near Hedge End, will be affected.

It is part of a two-year £83m project to replace England's concrete road surfaces with asphalt.

The roads operator said it was continuing to make good progress with phase one of the scheme.

It recently started drainage repairs, while 90% of the central reservation has been excavated.

The work includes:

  • Technology works

  • Concrete repairs

  • Removal of existing CCTV units

  • Road edge marking

  • Drainage surveys
