MAJOR repairs will begin on a Hampshire main road in the next fortnight.

Junction Road and Maynard Road in Totton will close overnight from 7pm to 7am on Tuesday, July 30, between the Ringwood Road junction and Rumbridge Street.

The resurfacing work – part of the Operation Resilience improvement programme – is expected to take five nights, but no work will take place on Saturday night before a final closure on Sunday.

Diversions will be in place along the A35 and A36 and highways council staff directing people approaching the Lymington Road.
