Part of a town centre road closes today for works. 

A section of West Street in Bridport is one way, from the roundabout with Tannery Road and the zebra crossing just outside of Waitrose - a distance of approximately 120 metres.

The closure affects traffic going eastbound (into town), and traffic will still be able to go west, meaning the road will be temporarily one-way for this section.

The work is scheduled for completion by Friday.

This closure is so that the National Grid can replace high-voltage underground cables.
