The A35 was closed in the westbound direction earlier causing very heavy traffic.
Traffic was queueing on the A35 around B3157 West Bay Road (Crown Roundabout).
Travel time is ten minutes according to Travel Dorset.
Earlier today, a lorry crashed into a power line and a tree at Raymonds Hill on the A35 and it's understood the closure is connected with this incident.
The A35 had to be closed for a recovery operation and it's had a major knock-on effect on traffic heading west.
Devon and Cornwall Police say the road closure was lifted at 12.30pm.
