A NUMBER of roadworks are set to take place around Dorchester, Weymouth and Portland this coming week.

Travel Dorset has an interactive map that lists minor or major roadworks across the county.

The map lists anything from footpath improvements, carriageway repairs, or gas works.

Some of this road maintenance is likely to cause no disruption in the area while some will spark some delays due to two-way traffic controls.

Motorists are being advised to allow plenty of time if they are driving on or near these roads.

Here is a round-up of roadworks that are scheduled to begin or take place on the week beginning Monday, September 21.

The descriptions of the roadworks are from Travel Dorset.
