Major delays were caused in Portsmouth last weekend as the northbound carriageway was shut all weekend.

Colas is carrying out work on the water bridge on behalf of Portsmouth City Council.

A spokeswoman said: ‘It is essential that this work is carried out to ensure the bridge remains structurally sound.’
