Traffic monitoring service Romanse reports: “A3 #Purbrook/#Cosham - Approx. 50 mins delay southbound on London Rd between Milk Ln and Spur Rd Rbt.”

It is thought than the delays have been caused as many drivers try to avoid major delays on the A3(M). There are tailbacks along the A27 eastbound and up to the A3(M) leading from Eastern Road, as a result of the burst sewer yesterday (December 6) which has seen a land closed southbound. There was also an accident on the A27 near Cosham/Portsbridge Roundabout creating delays.
