M3 Junction 9 Upgrade Progress | Rare Drone Views During Full Motorway Closure | October 2026

A unique opportunity to capture the ongoing transformation of M3 Junction 9 near Winchester from the air during the motorway closure weekend of 24 October 2026. With the M3 fully closed through the junction, this flight provided rare access to views that would normally be impossible to obtain safely while live traffic is using the motorway. This overflight documents the latest progress on National Highways' major upgrade of the busy interchange linking the M3, A34 and A33, one of the most important transport connections in southern England. The £200m+ improvement scheme is designed to increase capacity, reduce congestion, improve safety, and provide better connectivity between Southampton, Winchester, Basingstoke, the Midlands and the South Coast. The project includes major earthworks, new road layouts, bridge construction and extensive infrastructure improvements that will reshape the junction for decades to come.
