MULTIPLE roads will be repaired across Dorset in January with some routes set to be partially closed or shut.

Dorset Highway's maintenance crews are out across the county continuing to repair road damage and keep key routes in good condition.

Dorset Council has released the locations and timings of a number of roadworks across its area, which are taking place on key commuter routes and residential roads.

Some of these roads will see reduced speed limits, carriageway closures or be closed during the day or night in a bid to reduce disruption at peak times.

Motorists are being advised to allow plenty of journey time if they are using these roads.
