PART of the main road leaving Weymouth will be restricted to 30mph for two days so litter picking teams can work safely.

A stretch of the A354 Weymouth Relief Road will be restricted to 30mph on Monday and Tuesday, March 18 and 19 from 9am to 3.30pm, Dorset Council says.

The affected area will be between the Jurassic Roundabout (Littlemoor) and the Ridgeway in both directions - a distance of approximately 1,540 metres - and will be indicated by traffic signs.

It is anticipated that the speed limit will remain in force for two days whilst the Dorset Council carries out litter-picking on the verge.
