Dorset Council have published details of a temporary traffic regulation order, to enable them to carry out essential highway maintenance works. They plan to close Hinton Martell, Chalbury and Uppington between 22nd and 25th September 2026.
The road will be closed daily, between the hours of 09:30 and 15:30, and will be re-opened to traffic overnight and at weekends.
They will be carrying out targeted and localised repairs to sections of those roads highlighted in red on the map as seen below (as an embedded PDF) and downloadable here. The recommended diversion route is marked in blue, and this will remain in place for the full duration of the above works. National regulations state that traffic must be diverted onto roads with the same classification as the one that is closed.
