TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF B3092 HUNGER HILL EAST STOUR & NEW ROAD [part] GILLINGHAM

                        

DORSET COUNCIL has made an Order under Section 14 [1] of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984, as amended. All vehicles will be prohibited from proceeding along the B3092 Hunger Hill East Stour and New Road[part], Gillingham from its junction with Browns Lane, East Stour northward to Newhouse Farm Cottages, Madjeston, Gillingham, a distance of approximately 2,500 metres. The Order is needed in order to comply with Health and Safety Regulations, which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise the likelihood of danger to Highway Users. It will come into operation on Wednesday 6 January 2010 for a period of 3 weeks. But it will remain in force for 18 months and can be extended, with the approval of the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions, if necessary.

 

The Order will enable Dorset County Council to carryout carriageway resurfacing works.

 

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE

 

The alternative route will be as follows; from the northern end of the closure at Newhouse Farm Cottages Madjeston proceed northward to the junction with the B3081 Shaftesbury Road in Gillingham. Turn right onto the B3081 and continue south-eastward out of Gillingham along the B3081 to Ivy Cross roundabout in Shaftesbury. At the roundabout take the first exit off onto the A30 and proceed westward out of Shaftesbury to the junction with B3092 Back Street in East Stour. Turn right into Back Street and continue northward out of East Stour to the junction with Browns Lane and the southern end of the closure. The reverse route applies. Access will be available by arrangement with the Site Agent.

 

If you would like further information about the work being undertaken, please call Steve Higgs, Dorset Works Organisation on 01202 228100. For information on the alternative route please call Eastern Highways Office on 01305 251000.
