Can you drive through it from the A 35 to the A 350 ? The reason I ask is that the A 35 d/c was shut near Upton this morning from the roundabout next to the Bakers Arms and I was heading to Poole from the Dorchester side or could I have gone through Lytchett Minster ? I was in an artic.
there is a 7.5 t weight limit, other than that its a good road, usually the regular user traffic does jam up upton its self.

Thought there was a nasty little bridge down there hence why it’s a 7:5 limit but maybe I’m thinking of somewhere else .
I used that road loads of times, when I was on the milk. But it’s over 12/13 or so years ago that I last used it 
. But it was good then, just a few overhanging trees on bends…
Nothing wrong with the road as such - it’s got a limit on it probably because of the housing at the Upton end and there’s a couple of schools nearby.
The jumper managed to block two major routes at once - the A35 and the road being discussed.
Neat.

What about Lytchett Matravers though it looks like it’s doable ?

I think you’re thinking of the bridge on Mill Lane, out of Sturminster Marshall, a road which can be used to circumvent the traffic on the A31 past Wimborne Minster, or the A350/A31 roundabout. That is a very narrow bridge, with a tight corner on the Eastrn side of it. We used it on the milk, because we had two farms on either side of the bridge to collect, and we took it easy. I think the locals report non ‘local’ traffic to the police. We regularly had a police car give us a cheery wave if they were sat at the Eastern side of the bridge… 
not a straight through road but doable, usually cars parked both sides of the road outside the school and the Tesco local at school times, just a few overhanging trees and maybe a wandering horse or two,
