A road bridge in Dorset damaged in a crash will be closed for three weeks whilst repair work is carried out.

Tollerford Bridge, on Greenford Lane near Maiden Newton, will be closed from May 9 until May 26.

Repairs are being carried out following a crash in December.

The road closure is to allow workers from Dorset Council to conduct work on the bridge safely. The work will repair the brick parapet.

A locally signed diversion route will be put in place to enable traffic to travel around the closed sections.

If you would like further information about the work being undertaken and access arrangements, call Dorset Highways on 01305 228100, and concerning the road closure notice call 01305 221020.
