A27 Havant corridor
The A27 near Havant is one of the busiest stretches of road on the south coast. Over the coming months, we're doing a series of improvements and essential maintenance works in the area.
How we'll work
We're replacing safety barriers at two locations on the A27 between Warblington and Emsworth.
The existing barriers have reached the end of their working life, and this work is essential to keep road users and our road workers safe.
As part of this scheme, the following work will be carried out:
- replacing safety barriers at two locations on the A27 between Warblington and Emsworth
- repairing drainage
- removing two lighting columns
- clearing vegetation
- relocating three road signs
