This video documents the current traffic layout, new lane configurations, active construction zones, and the major changes now in place ahead of the July closure. The M3 Junction 9 Improvement Scheme, delivered by National Highways, is transforming the interchange between the M3 and A34, improving safety, reducing congestion, and creating free‑flowing connections for long‑distance traffic. The project includes: • Construction of two new bridges on the gyratory • Widening the M3 through the junction • A new free‑flow link between the M3 and A34 • Major upgrades to walking, cycling, and horse‑riding routes • New signage, gantries, and drainage systems • Reconfigured slip roads and traffic management phases 🔧 Recent Layout Changes (June 2026) This drive‑through shows the latest configuration, including: • New lane splits approaching the junction • Updated temporary alignments on the southbound carriageway • Narrowed lanes and reduced‑speed sections • Ongoing works around the A34 underpass construction zone • Freshly installed barriers, surfacing, and drainage channels 📅 July Closure – What’s Coming A significant full weekend closure is planned for July 2026, allowing crews to complete major structural works, including bridge deck operations, resurfacing, and traffic management switches. This closure will reshape the layout once again, paving the way for the next phase of the project. This video is ideal for local drivers, Winchester commuters, infrastructure followers, and anyone tracking the transformation of this key Hampshire junction.
