These road works will have a definite impact upon Dorchester residents although, hopefully, the planned mitigation measures specified by OCC in the following emails will mean that it is minor rather than a serious problem.
- All through traffic will be diverted from further south at the Shillingford Roundabout to follow the A329 which is the recognised diversion route.
- There will be additional signage at the Shillingford roundabout informing traffic that there is a prohibition on LGV/HGV traffic through Dorchester.
- Signs will also state to follow the signed diversion and NOT the vehicle’s Sat Nav’s.
- Signs will be erected at the Shillingford roundabout stating “Road Ahead Closed”.
- There will be a manned hard closure point at the Henley Road turn leading into Dorchester, with the gatemen at this location turning around any traffic attempting to use this as an alternative route.
- Access will only be permitted for local traffic and residents of Dorchester.
- The main diversion and HGV signage along with “Road Closed Ahead” signage will be back at Clifton Hampden so through traffic is diverted from further back.
- Manned hard closure point will be at the Abingdon Rd turn into Burcot, with gateman turning around all traffic apart from local access/residents.
