A Hampshire County Council spokeswoman said: ‘Work on Dunsbury Way to carry out carriageway repairs, resurfacing, installation of speed cushions and the reinstatement of road markings has been on-going since mid-November as part of our planned maintenance programme, Operation Resilience.

‘These works are carefully planned and are part of a long term strategy designed to ensure Hampshire’s road network is more resilient to the impact of heavy traffic and severe weather.’

Dunsbury Way’s closure led to the diversion of Stagecoach’s 20, 21, 23 and 39 bus services because they were unable to get to Park Parade.

The firm said on Twitter: ‘#Havant #LeighPark Dunsbury Way has reopened again, we have been assured that the world have now been completed and no further closures are required, services 20/21/23/39 will now operate normal route at Park Parade.’
