A GAS leak is causing disruption between the A354 Blandford Forum and Charloton Marshall.

There are delays and queuing traffic on the A350 eastbound in Blandford Forum between the A354 junction and Charlton Manor Junction while emergency gas repairs are being carried out.

Temporary traffic lights have been put in place by gas company SGN.

SGN have released a statement saying: "To ensure everyone’s safety around our work area, we’ve got two sets of temporary two-way traffic lights in place on the A350 between Blandford and Charlton Marshall. 

"We’re manually controlling both sets of traffic lights to help traffic flow past our works.  

"At this point, it’s too early to say how long our repair will take to complete. However, we’re working 24 hours a day to finish the repairs as quickly as possible. We’ll provide further updates as our work progresses."
