The C79 in Bere Regis will be temporarily shut from its junction with the C6 to Snatford Bridge (in both directions), a distance of approximately 1210 metres.

The closure order comes into operation on June 11.

It is anticipated that the works will be completed by June 24.

A locally signed diversion route will be put in place to enable traffic to travel around the closed sections.
