FURTHER work to spruce up the A31 will lead to lane closures this week.

Highways England will be repairing and replacing street lights at the Canford Bottom junction over five nights from today, May 14.

There will be lane closures on the roundabout and on all approach roads between 9pm and 6am on those nights.

Meanwhile the agency is also resurfacing a section of the A31 eastbound, which will be closed overnight from West Moors to the Boundary Lane roundabout from Thursday, May 17, for five nights excluding the weekend.

The closure will again apply from 9pm to 6am, with a diversion signposted via Ferndown and West Parley.

Highways England is carrying out a year-long programme of maintenance of lighting, drainage, signs and other furniture along the A31.
