Friday May 17, 2024 £210m M3 Junction 9 upgrade gains consent

VolkerFitzpatrick to start work in early 2025 on Winnall roundabout, near Winchester

The Government has granted development consent for the M3 Junction 9 Improvement near Winchester in Hampshire.

VolkerFitzpatrick is lined up to deliver the complex £210m Winnall roundabout scheme.

Programmed works include the creation of four traffic lanes in each direction of the M3 as well as building a same-direction free-flow link between the M3 and A34.

Also VolkerFitzpatrick will be constructing three new bridges, rearranging the main junction 9 roundabout and providing a number of other structures including new underpasses.

VolkerFitzpatrick is taking steps to minimise its environmental impact by reusing existing sub-base from the project.

Work is scheduled to start in early 2025.
