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 stretch of the motorway set for resurfacing works is between junctions 5 and 7. 

The westbound exit slip road at junction 8 is set to close from 8pm on November 20 to 6am on November 21. 

Drivers are being warned this could see delays of around 10 minutes.
