A SOUTHAMPTON road closed for almost a month following a hit and run incident is due to reopen today.

Work has been underway this week to repair the former mill building on Woodmill Bridge.

A Nissan Micra ploughed into the side of the historic building during a crash early in May.

The incident left a gaping hole with engineers called in to assess the structural damage.

The route has been blocked off in both directions as work has been done to remove debris and then patch up the building.

or the best part of a month, motorists have recently been forced to find alternative routes which has created queues along Thomas Lewis Way and on Cobden Bridge.

The carriageway remained open for pedestrians and cyclists with Southampton activists even calling for it to be completely pedestrianised.

Meanwhile, three “young men” who were spotted fleeing from the Nissan is ongoing are still being hunted by police.

The trio was seen running from the scene of the accident after the vehicle veered off the road.
