The A35 in Dorset is currently experiencing disruptions as it has been closed in both directions between the A37 at Poundbury and the A3066 at Misterton. The closure is the result of a road traffic collision that has necessitated the presence of Dorset Police and emergency services.
To manage the situation, diversion routes have been put in place to guide road users and minimize inconvenience:
- For westbound travellers: Follow the Hollow Diamond diversion symbol on road signs. Exit the A35 onto the A37 at Poundbury, take the A37 towards Wrackford/Stratton/Grimstone, and then join the A356. Continue on the A356 until you reach the A3066 near Misterton. Take the A3066 south and continue to the East Road roundabout, where you can take the 2nd exit and re-join the A35.
- For eastbound travellers: Follow the reverse of the westbound diversion route provided above.
It is essential for motorists to allow extra time for their journeys, as this closure may impact planned routes. Travellers are encouraged to plan ahead, consider alternative routes, or potentially delay their trips as needed.
