MOTORISTS have experienced traffic chaos after a lane was closed on a Hampshire motorway this morning.
Both northbound lanes and one southbound lane were closed causing long queues along the M271 northbound and as traffic leave the M27.
The 10 feet by four feet sheets - which weigh a ton each - landed 100yds from the roundabout at the roundabout at junction three of the M27.
It is thought that they have damaged the road surface and central reservation. The road will remain closed while the clean-up operation takes place.
Police, traffic officers and highways staff were on the scene as a clean-up operation takes place and have stopped a grey Scania truck close to the scene.
