Work Starts On A303 Bridge Maintenance Scheme

Work is underway on a six-month bridge maintenance scheme in Hampshire.

The project will see three bridges that carry the A303 over local roads near Andover upgraded to prolong their operational lives.

Some weekend closures will be used to replace the waterproofing material and bridge joints, which span both carriageways. It is expected these will take place over weekends between September and December. Overall, the scheme is scheduled for completion in January 2018.


Highways England Project Sponsor Gemma Luckhurst said: "Maintaining these three bridges will prolong the life of the structures and provide the 60,000 drivers that use this section of the A303 each day with safer and more reliable journeys for years to come. We are carrying out the work on the three bridges at the same time to minimise the overall disruption."
