Aiming to reduce journey times and improve safety. The works involve widening the junction, two new bridges and an underpass. Alongside, walking and cycling connections through the junction.

During the event there will be a talk on the scheme alongside a walking tour of the site around some of the major structures on the project prior to them going live / open for traffic and a view of the M3 underpass site.

You must be wearing the PPE listed below whilst walking around the site. The minimum PPE you need to bring with you is shown in bold, however, if you can bring any of the other listed PPE that would help the evening run more smoothly.
