There is a two-lane closure on the Eastern Road Southbound (A2030), from the A27. The closure will be from 8pm Friday 5 January, to Tuesday 9 January in the afternoon.
This is due to a sewer burst in the morning of Wednesday 3 January, to the North of the bridge. Our teams are on site and tankers have been deployed to assist with removing excess water and to avoid flooding.
Due to the traffic disruption this is causing, anyone travelling to Portsmouth is being advised to plan their journey and allow extra time. For the latest traffic information people can check Portsmouth City Council's @Portsmouthroads on X (formerly known as Twitter).
We are working with Portsmouth City Council to address the need for further future emergency repairs along the length of the sewer main with a long-term solution.
