Motorists are reminded parts of the A35 will continue to close overnight for works over the coming weeks - at different locations.

Work started in September, continued throughout October and now into November.

From 8pm until 6am, the rest of the overnight closures are as follows:

  • Bridport to Dorchester - November 11 to November 13
  • Stinsford Roundabout to Bere Regis Roundabout - November 14 - November 17

A spokesperson for National Highways said: “Additional investigations and maintenance work where necessary, is being undertaken before the route is handed back to National Highways. Unfortunately, this requires additional closures of the route so work can be undertaken safely and efficiently.

“The work is scheduled overnight when traffic flows are low to cause the least disruption, and every effort is being made to minimise disturbance to local residents and road users during the closures, including combining works, scheduling works to avoid known busy times, and permitting local resident access wherever possible.”
