Major transport projects

Southampton travel and transport update

We are Southampton City Council and Balfour Beatty Living Places, working in partnership to secure a sustainable future for Southampton. 

We are committed to giving you the latest travel information, roadworks news and updates on the major transport projects that are shaping the city. You can learn more about our exciting plans for the future at the Connected Southampton 2040 page.

In addition to S106 and developer contributions, this year we have received £8.24m in funding from central Government to transform our transport connections in the city and invest in sustainable transport infrastructure. This success in securing funding does bring challenges in ensuring we deliver our projects within stipulated timescales that are set by Government. We work carefully to plan and coordinate all roadworks, while working within these assigned timeframes. Furthermore we endeavor to minimise disruption and encourage local residents and commuters to plan their journeys ahead and prepare for delays.

Once complete, the current and future major investment in the city’s infrastructure will provide an enhanced experience that is fit for the future, serves the needs of all road users and contributes to our long term aims of reducing congestion and boosting economic growth in our city.

If you have a query about any of our works that isn't answered here then please get in touch by email at roadworks@southampton.gov.uk.
