Year of A31 roadworks starts TODAY

A year of roadworks is due to begin on the A31 from today.

Highways England is to start a planned 12 month programme of ‘cyclical maintenance’, focussing on drainage, lighting, signage, surveys, clearance of vegetation, litter picking, road sweeping and weed removal.

A 12-month traffic order is due to come into force on New Year’s Day.

It will allow for the phased overnight closure of the trunk road between the M27 Junction 1 and the Bere Regis roundabout, where it joins the A35.
