A MOTORWAY will be shut for roadworks to take place.

The M27 westbound will be closed between junctions five for Eastleigh and three for Rownhams for three nights.

The closures, which are in place from 10pm to 6am, will start tonight and will be in place for lane markings to be repainted.

A diversion will be in place via the A27 and A3057 through Chilworth and Romsey.

The M271 southbound between junction three of the M27 and the Lordshill roundabout will also be closed for two nights.

The closures tonight and tomorrow will be in place from 9pm to 6am so the carriageway can be resurfaced.
