Talk:M3 motorway (Great Britain)

message: This can't be right; the M3 up to Southampton was completed long after 1975.  Enchanter 20:59, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
:At that time the M27 did not exist.  It's construction meant adding a new junction to the M3 between Junction 13 and the A27/A33 roundabout. The M27 was opened in sections hence different dates for west- and east-bound. -- Nick1nildram 09:15, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
::I agree with Enchanter here. I've just checked this in an Ordnance Survey road atlas dated 1986, and it shows the M27 complete from Portsmouth to its current end just short of the New Forest, but the M3 still terminating at J10 in Winchester. I think the confusion arises because the section of the M3 between just south of the current J11 and the M27 was created in the mid-90s by extensively upgrading the previously existing A33 trunk road along the same alignment, as described in the 'Construction and History' section of the article. Presumably the M27 connections were built on the dates described, but to connect with the A33 not the M3. -- Chris j wood 13:39, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: M3 to Southampton completion date?

message: Is there any particular reason why this page sits where it does? Other countries have enormously longer and more important M3 motorways, e.g., M3 is the name of the motorway that connects the capitals of two largest states in Europe, Moscow and Kiev. I believe M3 motorway should be reserved for a disambiguation page. --Ghirla-трёп- 17:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: sounds reasonably to me, no idea how one makes it happen though. There will probably me many other cases to consider as well. PeterIto (talk) 13:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Can we have some citations for the construction dates, and can someone check the statements I have made about the section of road completed as 'Twyford Down' (10 to 12). This information was in the original article, but I haven't checked it and it doesn't seem to fit with other information about the 11-14 being built much earlier.

thread_title: Construction dates and Twyford Down

message: I came across the Dept for Transport website which shows traffic counts in map form and as tables. I've added a stat and ref to the article, though you have to use a search to find the relevant numbers. The figure given is for Count Point 16321 just to the north of the M27.

message: I invite you to support or oppose removing CBRD.  Which ever you prefer, unless it is a firm keep, I intend on relegating them to a footnote, perhaps about the arguably just notability-qualifying feature which is the quite long-spurs M3/A31 junction.Adam37 (talk) 16:40, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

message: From personal memory part of the London end of the M3 (M25 to J3?) was built as two lanes plus hard shoulder then widened later.  I remember the road works well but not the dates. Bob Wikicont (talk) 11:58, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
