Project Details
The M3 Junction 9 Improvement Scheme is located in the South East of England, east of Winchester in Hampshire within the South Downs National Park. The junction experiences significant delays, with lengthy queues common on the northbound off-slip of the M3 and the southbound A34. Traffic levels are heavy, especially between the M3 and the A34, with over 6,000 vehicles passing through junction 9 every hour during peak periods. The project aims to modify the junction to ensure free-flowing links between the A34 and the M3 in both directions. The works are scheduled to start in March 2025 and conclude in Autumn 2027.
The scheme involves:
1. 330,000m3 of earthworks, with approximately 50,000m3 requiring modification.
2. Construction of 2 x 125m long underpasses using the top-down method with contiguous pile walls.
3. Construction of 2 x 45m span steel gyratory bridges with piled FRC abutments.
4. A 35m span steel truss footbridge with piled FRC abutments.
5. Additional structures including 4 subways, 1 super span gantry, 1 long span gantry, and 9 VMS signs, along with drainage, communications, and minor retaining structures.
