The Relief Road supports the planned regeneration of Whitehill & Bordon in order to:
- Provide a free flowing alternative to the A325 and relieve traffic congestion on the A325
- Provide access to the new development
- Reduce development traffic flow on the A325 and on surrounding local roads
- Reduce community severance, currently created by heavy traffic flow on the A325
The route
The route of the road will:
- Start to the north of Bordon, on the A325 Farnham Road
- Pass through the MOD area to the west of the town
- Reconnect with the A325 to the south at the A325 Petersfield Road, Liphook Road and Firgrove Road junction in Whitehill.
The road will be a total length of about 2.6 miles (4.1km) and except for a short section of dual carriageway at the northern end will comprise a two way single carriageway with separate provision for pedestrians and cyclists.
Hampshire County Council gave its full approval to construct the Relief Road in January 2015.
Relief Road work
Hampshire County Council appointed Raymond Brown Construction to deliver the first phase of the relief road which started on 28 September 2015. Construction of the first phase of the Relief Road, running east-west through Louisburg Barracks, was completed in October 2016.
The second phase, which will run north-south next to Hogmoor Inclosure, started shortly after the completion of phase one and is expected to be completed by the end of 2018. Skanska are delivering the second phase and progress updates can be found on the Whitehill & Bordon Relief Road (external link) website.
We thank you for your patience and co-operation during this construction which has allowed the works to progress as quickly as they have.
