Busy B3058 Milford Road in New Milton reopens after collapsed sewer repair

A BUSY stretch of road in New Milton has reopened two days after being shut to repair a collapsed sewer.

Hampshire County Council announced the B3058 Milford Road had been closed in both directions, between Barton Common Road and Barton Common Lane, shortly after 2am on Tuesday.

People were urged to find an alternative route while Southern Water dealt with the issue, which covered the road’s entire width.

But at 2.30pm yesterday (Thursday), HCC announced the closure had been lifted.

In an online post, a spokesperson said: “The road is now open as the repair has been completed by our highways team.”
