Providing a ‘free fl ow’ lane from M271

southbound to A33 eastbound towards

Southampton – so traffi c won’t need to

stop at the roundabout.

Removing the bus lane traffi c signals from

A33 westbound whilst keeping the bus lane

and improving the bus stops.

Option 1, our initial design for a ‘hamburger’ style

roundabout, providing a direct link for the traffi c

going from the A33 to M271 northbound, was

rejected. This is because the existing subways

and footbridge would need to be demolished and

replaced by Toucan crossings which are less safe

for pedestrians and cyclists and potentially cause

delays on other arms of the roundabout.

We now have developed an Option 2 for further

consideration. It proposes:

4 lanes to the south side of the roundabout

3 lanes to the east side of the roundabout

Removal of the Toucan crossings across the

A33 sliproads to the east of the roundabout

Improving the subways and footbridge,

including modifi cations to approach ramps, so

that they are better, safe and attractive places

for pedestrians and cyclists

Maintain the existing shared pedestrian and

cycle route to the south of the roundabout.

Additional features

The scheme could be further enhanced,

depending on funding availability and the results

of further traffi c modelling with:

Wider traffi c lanes (4m instead of 3.5m)

3 lanes also provided to western side of the

roundabout

Additional exit lane onto the M271.

Impacts of proposed scheme

More road space to reduce congestion and

improve journey reliability

Better environment to make walking and

cycling easier, reduce noise and pollution.

About us

Highways England is the government company

responsible for operating and maintaining

England’s major A roads and motorways. Formerly

known as the Highways Agency, we are also

responsible for delivering improvements to the

existing strategic road network.

Redbridge Roundabout

Redbridge Roundabout is situated to the west

of Southampton City at the intersection of M271,

A33 and A35. It is a key gateway on the route

into Southampton City Centre and the Port of

Southampton from the west.

Need for the scheme

The Port of Southampton is the second busiest in

the country and is very important to Southampton

and the UK economy. Substantial levels of freight

and cruise passengers travel in and out every

day onto the motorway network. Maintaining a

well-functioning transport network is vital to the

competitiveness of the port and the continued

development and success of Southampton. A

congested, unreliable road network with poor

journey times has an environmental impact and

could jeopardise growth and job creation.

Current situation

The east-west traffi c between A33 and A35

travels on a fl yover above the roundabout,

whilst the main routes for the M271 are via

Redbridge roundabout.

We are looking for public feedback on our proposed scheme design.

We will design the fi nal scheme in further detail, involving our key stakeholders and partners.

Congestion, particularly during the afternoon

peak, severely restricts traffi c movements

between Southampton and the M271 and

queues back into the city centre. Queuing

from A35 westbound also impacts on the

roundabout.

This divides the local communities, creating an

obstacle for people who want to walk or cycle

between different areas.

Aims of scheme improvement

We aim to deliver improvements to:

Support economic growth at a local and

regional level by improving strategic access

into city of Southampton.

Provide a safe and serviceable network

by improving safety and environment for

non-motorised users.

Deliver a more free-fl owing network by

relieving traffi c congestion and improving

capacity and journey times.

Improve the environment through public realm

improvements and landscaping and controlling

road traffi c noise through free-fl owing traffi c

and low noise surfacing.

Scheme design

We have looked at a number of options to achieve

the aims of the scheme, which include:

Reducing the number of traffi c signals.
