No Alton-bound buses will run through but instead return to Winchester from Alresford via Jacklyns Lane and New Farm Road.

Buses from Alton will only run to Lymington Bottom at Four Marks.

The last bus from Alton, 10.15pm on Monday to Thursday and 11.15pm on Friday, will divert along the A32 and A272 to Winchester.

The work means there will be no buses after 7.20pm serving stops between Perins School at Alresford and Lymington Bottom in Four Marks.

Hampshire Highways has also installed 'keep right' signs on the section of the A31 to improve safety on the approach to several junctions.
