Delays can be expected on a major Dorset route due to roadworks. 

A section of the B3157 Coast Road is now only one way only between Burton Bradstock and Swyre.

This is to allow Openreach to complete utility works.

Works began on Monday, November 4 at 2.45pm and are expected to be completed by Friday, November 8.

This comes after two sets of roadworks on the B3157, at Abbotsbury Hill and Goose Hill to carry out carriageway reconstruction and complete a £250,000 water mains scheme respectively. 

These caused widespread disruption across West Dorset with many businesses in Abbotsbury reporting that their sales ‘had gone down.’

The closure at Abbotsbury Hill caused "chaos" amongst residents due to the lack of notice.
