M27 terminal junction
Can anyone local help me with a quick question. At the eastern end of the M27 is the A27 junction signposted as junction 13?
Thanks,
Nick

The A27's junctions are not numbered so we'll never know. Maps mark it as J12 though.

We seem to have this photo at the western end of the M27, saying J12. I wouldn't have thought that the junction immediately prior to that (i.e. on the A27 itself) has a junction number

Slightly off topic, but when was the decision taken that the M27 would end at the M275 and not continue along the route of the present A27 to Chichester?
I ask this because I have a 1975 road atlas that shows the M27 under construction between Portsmouth and Chichester on the route planner but not on the actual road map .

IIRC it was one of the later "Oil Crisis" cuts. Probably 1977 or so. I can check later.Rubberduck wrote:Slightly off topic, but when was the decision taken that the M27 would end at the M275 and not continue along the route of the present A27 to Chichester?

To be fair, though, the Chichester Bypass is D2, so the M27 (and the new A27) bypassed the single carriageway sections of the old A27.Lewis wrote:The Havant to Chichester section of the M27 now exists as a high quality D2 built in the 1990's. It amazes me that the plans or the M27 dont have it replaceing the Chichester Bypass, but instead terminating at Fishbourne roundabout.
The fact that the Chichester Bypass is utterly rubbish is neither here nor there...

But if your building a motorway all the way from the New Forest, surely extending it just past Chichester isnt difficault. But then, bypassing Arundel and Worthing seems like such hard work for this country, its amazing any motorway got built at allSteven wrote:To be fair, though, the Chichester Bypass is D2, so the M27 (and the new A27) bypassed the single carriageway sections of the old A27.Lewis wrote:The Havant to Chichester section of the M27 now exists as a high quality D2 built in the 1990's.

Put yourself in the mid-1970s, though. I rather suspect that the Chichester Bypass wasn't anywhere near as bad then as it is today, and if you just looked at a map you might well conclude that it's no worse than the sections of D2 A27 to either side...

Thats true. But then I don't remember the 70's, I'm not old enoughSteven wrote:Not technically, no.Lewis wrote:But if your building a motorway all the way from the New Forest, surely extending it just past Chichester isnt difficault

Just noticed the road numbers on the primary signs are in white .RickyB_uk wrote:We seem to have this photo at the western end of the M27, saying J12. I wouldn't have thought that the junction immediately prior to that (i.e. on the A27 itself) has a junction number
