Upcoming Roadworks on Smithfield Lane

ByRachel Audsley

As part of their annual Planned Maintenance programme, Hampshire Highways will shortly be undertaking carriageway surface treatment along Smithfield Lane, Headley, from Churt Road to Frensham Lane.

The works are currently programmed to start on Thursday 2nd May 2024 and are expected to take 10 days to complete. During this time the road will be closed to through traffic from approximately 07:30 – 18:00 hours. The road will be open outside of these hours.

Whilst there is an allowance within the time periods shown above for delays, there may be times when we have to postpone works at very short notice; based on the latest weather forecasts, this can occur just prior to works commencing. We will always look to provide up to date information wherever we can, but sometimes these last-minute decisions can be difficult to relay to the travelling public in a timely manner. When we can, any significant changes to the scheduled dates will be made clear on the yellow sign boards located at the works limits.
