M3 Junction 6 Black Dam Improvement – final phase of works

As we are approaching the final phase of the Black Dam Improvement scheme, I am writing to advise you of planned overnight closures to resurface sections of

the roundabout and approach roads.  These works will be carried out between 10pm and 5am as follows:

Signed diversion routes will be in place at these times.

These resurfacing works are expected to generate noise.  We will take measures to reduce this as much as possible but apologise for any disturbance caused.

In addition to the above, the Black Dam junction will be fully closed from 10pm on Friday 5 February to 5am on Monday 8 February.  This will allow final work to the new carriageway to be carried out in advance of the full opening of the junction on the Monday morning.  We will write to you again nearer the time to confirm details and diversion routes.

Additional tasks including landscaping will be completed using off-peak daytime lane closures and are expected to take three weeks.  This will be followed by the seeding of the newly-landscaped areas which is planned for March, when temperatures will have risen to allow germination.

Details of this project are available on the Highways England website:  www.highways.gov.uk/m3blackdam.  Please subscribe to the scheme to receive email alerts when the information is updated.

I would like to apologise in advance for any disturbance or inconvenience caused by the works and would emphasise that our contractors work to strict procedures to ensure minimal noise at night.
