Three lanes have been closed on the M3 due to emergency bridge repairs, National Highways have said.
This comes after long delays on Monday, January 19, due to two crashes northbound between Junctions 12 and 13 during rush hour.
The incident on the M3 caused knock-on effects on other roads as drivers sought to avoid the motorway. There was congestion on the A3090 between Ampfield and Hursley, and also tailback on Morestead Road.
Just after 10.30am, National Highways confirmed that three lanes were closed southbound at Junction 13.
On X, a spokesperson said: "Lanes are closed on the M3 in Hampshire between J13 Southampton and J14 Eastleigh due to an infrastructure defect. National Highways Traffic Officers are currently making to scene to assist with traffic management."
At the time of writing, congestion is back to Junction 11, with drivers facing delays of 30 minutes.
National Highways expects normal traffic conditions to return between 12.30pm and 12.45pm.
