VISITORS to Southampton General Hospital face disruption this weekend as work is completed on an extension to the multi-storey car park.

The Tremona Road entrance was being closed from 2pm today until Sunday evening. All traffic will have to enter the site via Coxford Road.

Traffic officers will be on hand to redirect vehicles and explain where alternative parking can be found on the hospital site.

The work is designed to create extra parking spaces to cope with the construction of a new cancer-research facility and the relocation of all cancer services from the Royal South Hants Hospital.
