M27 traffic: Drivers facing motorway delays following crash en route to A27
Drivers heading towards Havant and Chichester are facing major delays.
An incident is causing major delays towards the very end of the M27 this morning, according to reports.
On Google’s traffic maps, there are multiple reports of a collision on the M27 eastbound, just past Junction 12 for Portsmouth. This is causing delays for people heading towards the A27 for Havant, as well as those leaving Portsmouth via the M275.
Eyewitnesses have told The News that the eastbound sliproad onto the A27 from the Portsbridge roundabout has been closed, with congestion at the top of London Road, Hilsea, along Western Road towards Cosham, and from Cosham down Northern Road.
A spokesperson for National Highways said: “Lanes one and three are closed eastbound on the M27 in Hampshire within J12 Cosham due to a collision.
“Lane three is closed westbound. Emergency services are on scene.
“There are currently delays of 10 minutes on the approach.”
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary has been contacted by The News for comment.
