A MAJOR Dorset road has been reopened after it was closed due to a broken down lorry.

The A31 westbound was closed from A350 Poole Road (Roundhouse Roundabout) to B3075 (Spetisbury turn off) due to a broken down lorry.

The road was closed to allow for safe recovery of the lorry.

The lorry has now been recovered and the lane has been reopened.

Traffic has returned to normal.
