wilson2579 Posted April 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Has anyone got any updates on the roadworks in Southampton. We will be going to the Ocean terminal on Friday morning and wondering what the best route to take into Southampton as we will be coming from Basingstoke first thing in the morning. Any suggestions would be appreciated.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFC Posted April 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) I'm interested in this too as we go in a few weeks. Edited April 15, 2014 by CCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianI Posted April 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) I cant tell you what the current state is but this leaflet tells you what they are doing http://www.southampton.gov.uk/Images/Final%20Platform%20for%20Prosperity%20Leaflet_tcm46-323816.pdf The intent is to improve access through gate 4. We are going on Saturday Brian Edited April 15, 2014 by BrianI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson2579 Posted April 15, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hubby is thinking of coming down the A33 by the football stadium if that helps:confused: I will let you know how it goes after the weekend:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted April 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2014 From what we saw the roadworks are right outside dock gate 4 so whatever route you take I think it will affect you as it cannot be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindyloo22 Posted April 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Road works are not to bad, I only live about 1/2 hrs drive away and have been into Southampton a few times. A couple of weeks ago the traffic going into the car parks seemed to be what was making a tail back. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Sharon Posted April 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I haven't had any issues driving in but there can be delays getting out again! On the day we drove to join Oriana at the QEII terminal the road works were suspended for the day as Oceana was at Ocean. Coming home to Ocean Terminal the cars leaving the car park were held up in favour of cars arriving causing chaos later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britboys Posted April 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The one good thing Trish is that Oriana is the only ship in the Eastern Docks on both Friday & Monday, with a small ship each day in the Western Docks. The main works as I understand it are currently in front of Dock Gate 4 - the one we all need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancashire_cruisers Posted April 16, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) We're leaving from the City terminal in August. Do the roadworks affect traffic to and from there as well?

Debbie It depends which Dock Gate you are asked to enter from. It may affect you a little if you have to use Gate 8 rather than 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayman Posted April 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It depends which Dock Gate you are asked to enter from. It may affect you a little if you have to use Gate 8 rather than 10. But regardless if you look at your road map you can enter at the western end of the docks and follow Herbet 'somthing' avenue to miss out all of West Quay too.

CCFC Posted April 16, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm a tad confused by the map, Dock gate 4 is for inbound traffic only and access to public car parks is via dock gate 5! How do you get out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dock gate 4 is currently used for inbound and outbound traffic. The intent of the roadworks is to make gate 4 inbound only and gate 5 outbound. The road outside is also being widened.

Yes, still only one small ship on Sunday too. I don't know why they haven't utilised the Mayflower Terminal when there is nothing in there on our dates.

Yes- I know you CAN, but last time two ships were in Mayflower and City, you were not allowed to! It depends on which way they want the traffic flow to go.

It depends on which way they want the traffic flow to go. That's interesting Saron, perhaps I need to check in more detail before I set off next time! Never had a problem to date but must admit I haven't taken into account the number of ships in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
