Highway Improvement Scheme
www.hants.gov.uk
M27 Junction 9 and Parkway South Roundabout
Objectives and Funding
Funding for this scheme is being provided as follows:
• £12.9 million from Highways England (Growth and Housing Fund £9.9m and Congestion Relief Fund £3m)
• £6.7 million from Hampshire County Council.
Hampshire County Council is working with Highways England to develop proposals for the £19.6 million major highway improvement scheme
between M27 Junction 9 and Parkway South Roundabout in Whiteley. The scheme proposes to improve the flow of traffic by widening the
roundabouts, adding additional lanes to the motorway slip roads and installing traffic lights at Parkway South Roundabout.
The scheme objectives are to:
Reduce traffic congestion
Improve access for residents and businesses
Support future development
The scheme supports the dual strategy for improving access to Whiteley and traffic flow on the M27, and is critical for ensuring the success of
wider associated investments including the £14 million being invested by the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership to widen the northern section
of Whiteley Way and the £150 million being invested by Highways England in the M27 Smart Motorway Project. The work to M27 Junction 9
and Parkway South Roundabout also supports the associated regional strategy for ‘Improving Access to Fareham and Gosport’ which aims to
improve access and journey time reliability for travel to and from Hampshire’s southern peninsula.
All these schemes compliment each other and will help transform the way traffic flows in this area.

Overview and Programme
Delivery programme
The detail of the programme is currently being developed with principal works planned for delivery between 2018 and 2021.
Enabling works including vegetation clearance are planned to commence in late Autumn 2017.
Every effort will be made to minimise the impact of the works on the travelling public and where possible, to restrict the most disruptive
works to off-peak periods. Night time working will also be undertaken when necessary.
Up-to-date information will be available on the scheme webpage: www.hants.gov.uk/transport/transportschemes/m27junction9
Scheme overview
The scheme will provide:
additional traffic lanes on both M27 Junction 9 motorway exit slip roads; on the westbound on-slip road and on the Whiteley Way
approach.
additional lanes on the northern and southern sections of the roundabout at M27 Junction 9
a new larger fully signal-controlled Parkway South Roundabout including additional lanes on the approaches, around the
roundabout, and on the Parkway exit road.

Potential Pedestrian and Cycle Schemes
The map shows
possible schemes to
improve provision for
pedestrian and cycle
trips across the M27.
Longer term
aspirations include a
potential new bridge
improving the link
between Swanwick
Station and Whiteley,
which could also
encourage more
travel by rail.
In the medium term
plans could include
providing a formal
route across the M27
Junction 9, while a
short term plan may
be to improve the
eastern route along
Whiteley Lane.

Ecology and Environment
Ecology
Ecological surveys have been undertaken to establish what wildlife is living in
the verges and surrounding habitat. These have included surveys for bats,
newts, reptiles and dormice.
Dormice have been found living close to the highway and mitigation planting
will be provided to maintain their environment.
Adders and other reptiles are also present and will be carefully relocated
when works are undertaken.
Environment
Environmental impacts have been assessed as part of the scheme appraisal
and with the proposed mitigation in place the scheme has been forecast to
have:
• A slight beneficial impact upon air quality due to reduced congestion
• Negligible noise impacts at the nearest sensitive receptors
• A neutral impact upon biodiversity and the water environment
• No impact upon heritage
• A slight adverse impact upon landscape.

Enabling Works
Enabling Works
Enabling works are planned to commence in late Autumn 2017. These works are required to clear
vegetation and gather further information about the existing ground and road conditions.
The works will include:
• Geotechnical investigation – to establish the strength and make up of the existing ground
• Ground Penetrating Radar Surveys – to identify unknown services beneath the ground
• Excavations to locate services
• Road construction investigations – to check the strength of the existing roads
• Drainage investigations – to clean and investigate the suitability of the existing drainage
network
• The first stage of vegetation clearance - to be carried out under ecological supervision.

Traffic and Construction Information
Traffic and Construction Information
Every effort will be taken to minimise delay and disruption to the travelling
public during the construction period.
Measures will include:
• Ensuring where possible, the same number of traffic lanes are available for use
during the peak periods
• Carrying out works outside peak periods and at night
• Taking measures to minimise nuisance from noise and dust
• Providing a communications officer to liaise and inform local residents and
businesses of specific construction issues.
Further information regarding construction phasing and traffic management will be
available at a ‘Meet the Contractor Exhibition’ prior to the main works commencing.
