Description: | All traffic is using the newly opened southbound carriageway.
The contractors depot is shown, together with the outline of the route of the northbound carriageway and the slip road from that lane into Winchester at St Cross. Behind the large trees on the right, a roundabout was constructed for this traffic where it would meet traffic coming into Winchester from the 'old' Portsmouth Road. In front of the large trees the route of the new road from this roundabout down to join the 'old' road is shown. This new road, A3090 would also become the slip road onto the northbound carriageway. This traffic, onto the ' old' Portsmouth Road which became the B3335 and the traffic joining the motorway at Junction 11 is still controlled by traffic lights.
The climb the traffic has to make on the approach to the Twyford cutting is well illustrated, as the cutting is out of view to the left.
The road on the lower right, part of the 'old' A333 Portsmouth Road was eventually be blocked off and became Five Bridges Road, a dead end leading to footpaths around St Catherine's Hill.
The old by-pass can be seen to the left of the motorway.
The bridge in the foreground carries the A333 under the motorway, while the second one carries the motorway over the River Itchen. Hockley Viaduct is out of view behind the trees on the right. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Hampshire Library and Information Service - Hampshire County Council | Subjects: | building depot A333 motorway road Hockley bridge road building M3 construction | Temporal: | start=1994-09-25; end=1994-09-25; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | John Brimfield | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
