Providing a ‘free fl ow’ lane from M271
southbound to A33 eastbound towards
Southampton – so traffi c won’t need to
stop at the roundabout.
Removing the bus lane traffi c signals from
A33 westbound whilst keeping the bus lane
and improving the bus stops.
Option 1, our initial design for a ‘hamburger’ style
roundabout, providing a direct link for the traffi c
going from the A33 to M271 northbound, was
rejected. This is because the existing subways
and footbridge would need to be demolished and
replaced by Toucan crossings which are less safe
for pedestrians and cyclists and potentially cause
delays on other arms of the roundabout.
We now have developed an Option 2 for further
consideration. It proposes:
4 lanes to the south side of the roundabout
3 lanes to the east side of the roundabout
Removal of the Toucan crossings across the
A33 sliproads to the east of the roundabout
Improving the subways and footbridge,
including modifi cations to approach ramps, so
that they are better, safe and attractive places
for pedestrians and cyclists
Maintain the existing shared pedestrian and
cycle route to the south of the roundabout.
Additional features
The scheme could be further enhanced,
depending on funding availability and the results
of further traffi c modelling with:
Wider traffi c lanes (4m instead of 3.5m)
3 lanes also provided to western side of the
roundabout
Additional exit lane onto the M271.
Impacts of proposed scheme
More road space to reduce congestion and
improve journey reliability
Better environment to make walking and
cycling easier, reduce noise and pollution.
About us
Highways England is the government company
responsible for operating and maintaining
England’s major A roads and motorways. Formerly
known as the Highways Agency, we are also
responsible for delivering improvements to the
existing strategic road network.
Redbridge Roundabout
Redbridge Roundabout is situated to the west
of Southampton City at the intersection of M271,
A33 and A35. It is a key gateway on the route
into Southampton City Centre and the Port of
Southampton from the west.
Need for the scheme
The Port of Southampton is the second busiest in
the country and is very important to Southampton
and the UK economy. Substantial levels of freight
and cruise passengers travel in and out every
day onto the motorway network. Maintaining a
well-functioning transport network is vital to the
competitiveness of the port and the continued
development and success of Southampton. A
congested, unreliable road network with poor
journey times has an environmental impact and
could jeopardise growth and job creation.
Current situation
The east-west traffi c between A33 and A35
travels on a fl yover above the roundabout,
whilst the main routes for the M271 are via
Redbridge roundabout.

We are looking for public feedback on our proposed scheme design.
We will design the fi nal scheme in further detail, involving our key stakeholders and partners.
Congestion, particularly during the afternoon
peak, severely restricts traffi c movements
between Southampton and the M271 and
queues back into the city centre. Queuing
from A35 westbound also impacts on the
roundabout.
This divides the local communities, creating an
obstacle for people who want to walk or cycle
between different areas.
Aims of scheme improvement
We aim to deliver improvements to:
Support economic growth at a local and
regional level by improving strategic access
into city of Southampton.
Provide a safe and serviceable network
by improving safety and environment for
non-motorised users.
Deliver a more free-fl owing network by
relieving traffi c congestion and improving
capacity and journey times.
Improve the environment through public realm
improvements and landscaping and controlling
road traffi c noise through free-fl owing traffi c
and low noise surfacing.
Scheme design
We have looked at a number of options to achieve
the aims of the scheme, which include:
Reducing the number of traffi c signals.
