M3490 viewsLooking north from the same bridge. The A33 went behind the house, across the M3, under the bridge and sharp left back towards the M3. The filled in treeless cutting beyond the Hockley lights, can be seen in the distance, to the left of Twyford Down cutting on the M3. Amazing how they managed to do all this and keep 4 lanes of traffic flowing as well.SteveA30 (wikified)

M3, Compton.374 viewsLooking south. This is where the on line section ends. The A33 veered to my right through the cutting. The bridge I'm on is roughly where the A31 used to be, leaving the A33 at a GSJ on its way to Romsey. The original A33 also carried on via Otterbourne until 1967, when the D2 to Southampton opened. Oct 12 1997, just over 2 years after M3 completion.SteveA30 (wikified)

M3 Chilworth296 viewsAn early Sunday morning, looking towards the southern terminus of the M3, where the A33 takes over. As can be seen, the motorway here is just D2; a reminder of the old days when it was the A33. Also note the white sign, which is actually on the motorway.sotonsteve (wikified)

M3 demolition310 viewsThe Hatch Farm bridge being chipped away, about 5am. It didn't look as if they would be finished by 8am and, they weren't. 8.45 in fact. Still, not far out. Looking west. The orange areas are sparks from the cutters.SteveA30 (wikified)

Reopened July 15 2007260 views9.15am and the Hatch Farm bridge has mostly gone, except for the piers each side. Traffic has returned to the motorway. Efficient but, boring.SteveA30 (wikified)
