Who ever decided to close the M3 all weekend needs to be fired on the most busiest weekend of Christmas shopping.Appsolutly madness
Traveling on the M3 from Richmond to Winchester for the past 18 months – I am concerned about the amount of debris on the righthand side of the fast lane. There are re-treads, garbage, and metal structures with sand bags (no longer any signage). All of these things are hazards and could be fatal (especially the metal structures). Please have the road cleaned/cleared. Thank you.
J3 to J2 London bound M3 at standstill due to pile up
M3 motorway restrictions from j14 and 11 with roadworks to change the barriers that started in August 22 and will end (if you can believe them) in Summer 2023. When I drive past in the mornings there is no one working, same at night. Where are the workers? Last week I went home during the day and out of 8 men I counted 5 were looking at their mobile phones just standing around. Now after 3 months work I see no new barriers. Who is charge? and who is paying for all the mess?
I know they’ve beeen going on for some time now, but what is the lane closure for on the M3 between Junctions 3 and 2 London bound?
Who is the authority of England motorway ? No notice displayed in the board but all in a sudden you can find your exit is close.
Last night there is no sign in the M3 London bound for exit to M25 is close. And it’s happened so many times.
Almost 15 miles to drive back home by alternative road.
The M3 at 1026am on the 23rd October is at a standstill and has been for an hour and a half now. This is heading toward London between junction 2&1
Very large crash involving ambulance and lorry between winchester and basingstoke. Massive tailsbacks and over 25 emergancy vehicles on route
M3 Southbound by junction 4 at a complete standstill due to a serious car accident
01:54
M3 south bound nr Basingstoke at a stand still @ 8:19 am
M3 entering London, caravan overturned. Literally just happened. No emergency services yet.
M3 Junction 4-4A
Crash on M3. All lanes at a standstill and emergency vehicles attending the scene. Avoid if possible.
