The closures will be in place between junction 9 and 11 next week, with drivers told to plan their journeys carefully. It forms part of two month’s worth of work to upgrade the junction as part of the new 6,000-home Welborne Garden Village which have shopping areas, schools and other facilities once complete. The closures will impact parts of the A32 just north of the M27.
