Dorset Road Fix – Resurfacing in September 2023

Roads around Dorset are being resurfaced to repair damage.

Roads near or at the end of their life will be resurfaced. Resurfacing repairs the structural failure in the lower layers of the road as well as the surface, restoring shape and strength.

To allow the work to take place safely, the area of the road being worked on will be closed. Signed diversions will be in place.

Access to properties and businesses is maintained, though drivers may have to wait a moment while machinery is moved or a task is finished to ensure the work area is safe to move through.

We will do our best to keep residents updated if our schedule of work changes. The roads will be open outside of the hours given.

Fairfield Road, New Field Lane, Shroton - 1 to 6 September

Chapel Lane, Maiden Newton - 6 September to 8 September
