Drivers are being warned as the M27 is set to shut this month as National Highways undertakes technology work on the motorway. 

This comes as much of the motorway is down to 50 mile per hour speed restrictions while the resurfacing scheme is complete. 

In February, National Highways announced that it would undertake an £83 million project to see a concrete section of the M27 resurfaced after noise complaints for those living in the area.

The closure will only affect the westbound carriageway between junction 9 to junction 7.
