Drivers are facing major delays on the A27 westbound after Bedhampton.
Eastern Road is also congested, with only one lane open southbound due to a burst sewer pipe.
The next closure at the M27 westbound Interchange is scheduled from September 26 at 9pm until 6am on September 29.
The project began after inspectors for National Highways found concrete coming off the 50-year-old bridge.
