Highways England is creating a smart motorway on the M27 between junctions 4 to 11. This means that the hard shoulder will be turned into a permanent running lane, converting it into a dual four lane smart motorway. New signage and technology will be introduced to help with the management of vehicle speeds and safe lane use.
You can find out more about Smart Motorways and keep up to date with the project, including scheduled road works by visiting the project's dedicated webpage on Highways England's website .
