Oakmount Road closed between Constantine Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue
Despite saying that they were closing the road between Carisbrooke Crescent and Constantine Avenue in one go, the contractors have been more sensible and done it in two stages. Oakmount Avenue is now closed between Hillcrest Avenue and Constantine Avenue.
However, this has caused a tremendous traffic jam southbound along Winchester Road and Bournemouth Road. The only practical way into Southampton from Chandler's Ford is up Winchester Road to Junction 12 of the M3. There is also a considerable delay for traffic heading towards Junction 5 of the M27, with a queue the length of Stoneham Lane/Stoneham Way and also right along Twyford Road and Southampton Road up to Junction 5. It's apparently caused by roadworks between J3 and J7 of the M27. So - a nightmare all round, which suggests bad planning there as well as with the Oakmount Road work.
Surely the answer to the Oakmount Road work would have been to close one side of the road at a time and regulate the traffic flow by traffic lights. I should like to know who masterminded this shambles and shall be doing all I can to find out.
