A323 Fleet Road: overnight closures from 13 October

Overnight resurfacing on the A323 between Fleet and Hartley Wintney is expected to begin on Tuesday 13 October.

The affected stretch is just north of the turn for The Elvetham hotel, north of Pale Lane. Closures are planned from 8pm to 6am, with the road open outside those hours. Access to the hotel and nearby properties will be maintained from the Fleet side.

Councillor Steve Forster advises that the work is expected to take six nights. The permit runs until 24 October to allow for changes to the schedule, so check the roadside warning signs and live roadworks record before travelling.

Please allow extra time and follow the signed diversion.
