Eastern Road, Portsmouth update

Following our site survey, the repair work on the sewer has been rescheduled to early January 2026. This means there will be no daytime lane closures on Eastern Road for the rest of this year.

Between now and Tuesday 23 December, there will be some night works that will require one lane closed southbound between the junction of Tangier Road and Burrfields Road, while minor works are carried out.

From 6am Tuesday 11 November, the shared footpath and cycle route will reopen for the rest of the year.

Emergency access to Harbourside Park will be maintained at all times.

We are working closely with Portsmouth City Council and keeping residents and commuters informed to minimise disruption to the local community.

The long-term £2.5m solution will strengthen Portsmouth’s pipeline, using innovative lining technology to futureproof this section of the city’s sewer network for years to come.

We would like to thank the people of Portsmouth for their ongoing support and understanding.
