The M275 is the only road on and off Portsea Island, making it a notorious bottleneck during peak hours. Hauly drivers use the A3(M) Eastern Road for cross-Solent connections and the A27 for east-west routes along the coast.
The estimated fuel cost for this route is £5 (diesel van at ~30mpg, £1.55/L), and the journey produces approximately 8 kg of CO₂.
