Reduced speed limit westbound
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4636186.
There has been a reduced 50mph limit westbound on the Hamble bridge for over 6 months now. Previous responses to reports suggest that the central reservation needs repair and should be completed earlier this year. Why are the restrictions still there?

Thank you for your report concerning speed restrictions.
The closures and speed restrictions on the M27 in this area are due to parapet damage on Hamble Bridge. Following a collision with the Eastbound parapet, we found that both it and the Westbound parapet are near their end of life. We’re having to completely replace the parapets along this bridge to ensure it’s safe to use, and we’re currently assessing what requirements the new parapets will need and designing them accordingly. We’ll then need to order the necessary replacement parts before we can install them. Currently, we’re aiming to do this installation in September, however this schedule is variable and subject to change. The current traffic management will remain in place until the parapet is safely replaced. We thank you for your patience whilst we resolve this issue.
Kind regards
National Highways
