A planned five-day road closure to mend a collapsed sewer has been cancelled.

Travel Dorset confirmed this afternoon that Wessex Water have revised their plans for Dorchester Road this week.

Wessex Water had planned to close Dorchester Road at Broadwey from the junction with Lorton Lane to the junction with Springfield Road from Monday, August 14.

The work will now be completed under two-way signals.

First Bus confirmed that their services will not now be affected.

A spokesman said: "We have just received news that Dorchester Road will not be closing next week, instead the work will be completed under two way signals. Therefore services 10 and 2 will be operating normal route."
