Due to the success of Havant’s Broadmarsh Business Area (also known as Havant South Business Park), and the ongoing development of this strategic Business Area, the Highways Agency decided that the junction of the A27 with Harts Farm Way needed to be improved to cope with the expected increase in traffic movements. Completed in 2007, the new junction provides all Broadmarsh businesses with excellent access to the south’s highway network, linking directly to the A27 and A3(M).

This is a major development opportunity for the borough as referred to in “Unlocking the Potential” the Council’s Regeneration Strategy for 2005-2008 >>. The junction improvement was a milestone in the regeneration of Broadmarsh, significantly improving access to the area and opening up further key sites for development.

 

Work was carried out in 2010 /2011 to further improve roads adjacent to this scheme, namely the 'Rusty Cutter' roundabout (A3(M) junction 5) and the link road to connect Harts Farm Way to the A3(M) and A27. This new scheme has its own web page elsewhere (external link) >>.
