I live locally. Will my local traffic routes be affected?

Build up period
During the show build up period (14 June- 17 July 2010) there may be an increased amount of traffic mainly consisting of lorries and contractor vehicles with deliveries for FIA 2010. All delivery and contractor traffic will be directed to Gate I, off the A323.

Traffic approaching from the A325 direction will not be allowed to turn right from the A323 and will be directed to Norris Hill Bridge roundabout to approach from a westerly direction for a left turn into ‘I’ Gate. It is expected that the bulk of this traffic will approach Farnborough on the M3 and can be split onto two different routes – westbound traffic will be signed from J4 – eastbound traffic from J4A.
