A354 temporary lights

For three weeks from Monday 20 June, manually controlled temporary traffic signals will be in place on the A354 in the area of Winterborne Monkton.

The lights will be in use during off-peak hours, 9.30am to 4.30pm, while four refuge islands are built; one near the Winterborne Monkton turning, one near the Winterborne Herringston turning, one between these two points and one in Herringston Road.

Surfacing of the area will be carried out from 7pm to 1am between Monday 11 July and Friday 15 July. This will also be done under temporary traffic signals, but with no access to Winterborne Monkton, Winterborne Herringston and Monkton Park from the A354.
