Travel time is ten minutes according to Travel Dorset.
Earlier today, a lorry crashed into a power line and a tree at Raymonds Hill on the A35 and it's understood the closure is connected with this incident.
The A35 had to be closed for a recovery operation and it's had a major knock-on effect on traffic heading west.
Devon and Cornwall Police say the road closure was lifted at 12.30pm.
