Highway bosses have now said that “severe congestion” is expected.
Residents have been urged to plan their journeys, leave plenty of extra time and consider using alternative modes of transport where possible.
It comes as some motorists face a 55-mile diversion route while others will be diverted through North Baddesley and Chilworth.
Highways England, which is responsible for the scheme, said all vehicles heading west on the M27 from Portsmouth to Bournemouth will be diverted off at junction 4, up the M3 and the A34, the A303 past Andover, down the A345 into Salisbury and onto the A36 towards the M27 at J2 (Ower).
Meanwhile, eastbound diversions entail a number of different routes, depending on direction and the type of vehicle. Traffic of any type on the M27 from the A31 and heading towards M27 east will be diverted off at junction 3 up the M271 and A3057 northbound for then joining the A27 eastbound, heading through North Baddesley and Chilworth Roundabout. HGVs on the M27 from the A31 heading for M3/London will also be diverted through North Baddesley to Chilworth Roundabout.
Romsey town centre manager, Mark Edgerley, said: “I have said to residents it is unfortunate as it will cause chaos, but it is essential work that needs to be done to finish the bridge, so it is unavoidable.”
Highways England said this will be the last closure as the scheme is expected to be completed next month.
As previously reported, the motorway was closed in September 2018 when Southampton and the surrounding areas were brought to a standstill with motorists facing the same 55-mile diversion route.
Another closure was in place in June 2019 when the operation was completed 36 hours ahead of schedule. Civic chiefs in Southampton have also urged residents to plan their journeys in advance and allow extra time.
As previously reported, the first closure enabled contractors to start demolishing the old bridge, which was built in the 1970s and was nearing the end of its life.
The M27 was closed again in June while the bridge's pre-built replacement was moved into position.
This weekend's closure will allow for the demolition of the eastern half of Romsey Road bridge.

A JUDGE has hit out at police “ incompetence ” after he was forced to sentence a burglar for a second time in three months – despite officers having interviewed the man for all of the offences on the same day .
Officers from both Hampshire and Wiltshire Police interviewed Josh Waters in July following a string of burglary and attempted burglary offences in both counties .
But despite positively identifying Waters as the burglar at that stage , Hampshire Police did not charge Waters until October 31 – after he was sentenced for the Wiltshire offences .
This sparked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who described delays in Hampshire Constabulary ’ s decision to charge Waters as “ thoroughly unsatisfactory ” .
It also sparked Judge Henry , who sentenced Waters to 42 months in prison for the previous offences in October , to conclude it would be “ unjust ” to add further time to the 18-year-old ’ s current sentence .
Judge Henry spoke out at Southampton Crown Court during Waters ’ sentencing for burglary and attempted burglaries in Hampshire .
As previously reported in the Daily Echo , the court heard Waters stole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the property in Bilberry Drive , Marchwood , on June 27 .
Earlier that morning , Waters was seen on CCTV attempting to break into four more properties , including two in Bilberry Drive and two in Kestrel Close .

The court heard he was interviewed by both Wiltshire and Hampshire Police on the same day .
He was also identified by officers as being the man seen on CCTV in Kestrel Close and Bilberry Drive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did not send a postal requestion to Waters until October 31 , after he had been sentenced to 42 months in prison for the incidents being investigated by Wiltshire police .
That sparked Judge Henry to hit out at Hampshire Constabulary ’ s handling of the case , which he described as being down to “ just incompetence ” .
He said : “ Somebody would have thought that they would have worked more expeditiously .
“ He ( Waters ) should have been sentenced for all these matters together .
“ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at this stage when it is my view that the delay in presenting these offences is with the police and possibly with others.
” Waters , of HMP Portland , was sentenced to a total of 20 months , which Judge Henry ordered to run concurrently with the previous 42 month sentence .

Officers from both Hampshire and Wiltshire Police interviewed Josh Waters in July following a string of burglary and attempted burglary offences in both counties.
But despite positively identifying Waters as the burglar at that stage, Hampshire Police did not charge Waters until October 31 – after he was sentenced for the Wiltshire offences.
This sparked a reaction from sentencing Judge Peter Henry, who described delays in Hampshire Constabulary’s decision to charge Waters as “thoroughly unsatisfactory”.
It also sparked Judge Henry, who sentenced Waters to 42 months in prison for the previous offences in October, to conclude it would be “unjust” to add further time to the 18-year-old’s current sentence.
Judge Henry spoke out at Southampton Crown Court during Waters’ sentencing for burglary and attempted burglaries in Hampshire.
As previously reported in the Daily Echo, the court heard Waters stole the Jaguar XK during a burglary of the property in Bilberry Drive, Marchwood, on June 27.
Earlier that morning, Waters was seen on CCTV attempting to break into four more properties, including two in Bilberry Drive and two in Kestrel Close.
Waters was arrested in Wiltshire in July following burglaries and attempted burglaries in the Salisbury area.
The court heard he was interviewed by both Wiltshire and Hampshire Police on the same day.
He was also identified by officers as being the man seen on CCTV in Kestrel Close and Bilberry Drive.
But the court heard Hampshire Police did not send a postal requestion to Waters until October 31, after he had been sentenced to 42 months in prison for the incidents being investigated by Wiltshire police.
That sparked Judge Henry to hit out at Hampshire Constabulary’s handling of the case, which he described as being down to “just incompetence”.
He said: “Somebody would have thought that they would have worked more expeditiously.
“He (Waters) should have been sentenced for all these matters together.
“It would be wrong to extend the sentence at this stage when it is my view that the delay in presenting these offences is with the police and possibly with others.”
Waters, of HMP Portland, was sentenced to a total of 20 months, which Judge Henry ordered to run concurrently with the previous 42 month sentence.
