MOTORISTS faced delays after the A354 Weymouth Way was reduced to one lane between Chafeys roundabout and Manor roundabout.
Traffic built up and vehicles queued along the road and around both roundabouts.
Temporary traffic lights were put in place and a Dorset County Council van, along with a number of SSE electrical vans, attended the scene.
The roadworks were cleared at about 3pm.
