Motorists are being warned of delays to journeys this morning due to a road traffic collision on the A27 eastbound just before the junction for the A3(M).

One lane has been closed and has led to long queues, which are back to Junction 9 for Whiteley.

National Highways estimates the road will fully reopen by 11am - but it will take some time for queues to clear.

There are currently delays of an hour on approach, National Highways says.

However traffic monitoring service, TomTom, estimates queues of 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Southampton Road is reported to be stationary with delays of upwards of 15 minutes.

The A397 is also affected - with roughly 10 minutes of queues into Cosham.

The collision is also affecting the M275 out of Portsmouth, with 10 minutes of queues on approach to the junction with the A27/M27.
