The B3143 has now been cleared both ways at Piddletrenthide after a fallen tree and power cables had blocked the road.
The road was closed between Puddletown and Buckland Newton.
Southern Electric were called to the scene to turn off the electricity and Dorset County Council later removed the fallen tree.
Police received a call about the incident at 12.40pm this afternoon.
