On its interactive road work map, One Network is warning that these works are likely to cause delays for motorists around the city centre and waterfront area.

A second bout of road works is then due to take place on West Quay Road from June 26 to June 28 with another lane closure being put in place.

These works are set to be closer to the waterfront area, next to the junction of Harbour Parade between the hours of 9.30am and 3.30pm.

Also adding to the potential delays is the fact that a high number of cruise passengers will also be in the city as six cruise ships are set to be in Southampton from Tuesday to Thursday.

The ships include the Arcadia, Norwegian Dawn, the Celebrity Apex, Borealis, Britannia and the Anthem of the Seas.
