**A34 and A33 24-Hour Southbound Closure**

A message from Volker Fitzpatrick Balfour Beatty Joint Venture (VFBBJV):

The A34 (from Three Maids Hill) and A33 (from the Cart and Horses junction), both southbound will be closed on:

9pm on Saturday 7 February until 9pm on Sunday 8 February 2026

A diversion will be in place via the A34, A303, and the M3. Please see here for further details: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit...

While every effort will be made to minimise disruption during this weekend, some delays are expected during these essential improvement works.

Our diversion routes are designed to suit all vehicle types.

We advise you not to use a Satnav when following any of our diversions because there is a risk it could direct you down an unsuitable road or back onto our network when it is closed.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We also post updates through our south east X and Facebook social media accounts which you can share.

Please note lane closure information is not usually provided on our project website or closure bulletins.

In the event of poor weather conditions or other issues out of our control, planned work may be postponed at short notice.

Thank you for all your continued support.
