A temporary road closure application has been submitted to Dorset Council for West Bay. 

Wessex Water has requested to close a section of Station Road between the entrance to Beachcombers and the entrance to Green Gables, a distance of approximately 100 metres.

The closure has been requested to allow Wessex Water to rectify a highway defect. These works are due to commence between 9.30am and 2pm on February 1, 2024.

Emergency access will be maintained at all times whilst the work is carried out but the temporary closure is expected to cause delays to drivers. 

A diversion route of 2.7 miles will also be put in place with drivers having to use the B3157 via Bothenhampton using West Bay Road and Burton Road.

Wessex Water will publicise the road closure in a number of ways: they will place information boards on the road in this area to inform the travelling public of the works; they will carry out a letter drop to local residents directly affected by the works; and they will sign a vehicular diversion route using the local road network.
