Significant improvements to the road network are planned in and around Solent Business Park. Hampshire County Council will be undertaking a £22.2 million scheme to upgrade Junction 9 of the M27 as well as the slip roads leading down to Parkway South roundabout (R1), the first roundabout as you head towards Whiteley. This will significantly help to reduce congestion off

the motorway.

In addition to these improvements Whiteley Way is also planned to be upgraded to a dual carriageway and extended to link into Botley Road, via Bluebell Way, allowing traffic on and off the business park to the north. Junction R1a will also be signalised, easing congestion at this junction.

Forum is almost equidistant between Southampton (10 miles) and Portsmouth (12 miles). Adjoining the M27 at Junction 9, only 8 minutes from Swanwick railway station and within 15 minutes drive of Southampton airport.
