Works will be continuing at the Tesco/Badger roundabout at the junction of the A350 and A354 for the next four months in connection with the Bellway Homes development.

Phase one started in February on the A350 and Church Lane, Blandford St Mary, and is scheduled to last until the end of March, with two-way signals on the A350, together with a road closure on Church Lane, with the possibility of overnight working in the event of large delays in the area.

The next phase from April 1 to June 7 will be at the A350 junction with the Badger roundabout, including site clearance, installations as at Church Lane of new storm water drainage, kerbs and edgings, together with ducting, the construction of a toucan crossing on the A354, installation of traffic lights, and a zebra crossing north of the roundabout in Bournemouth Road, which is being installed opposite Tesco.

During this phase there will again be temporary multi- way signals on the Badger roundabout, with overnight working to minimise disruption when the country is expected to be out of lockdown.

The final phase from June 8 to July 6 includes vegetation clearance and landscaping to create visibility splays at the A354 entrance and the same installations as in other phases. There will be temporary two-way signals on the A354 with extended daylight working hours for seven days a week, and temporary 30mph speed limits on the A354.
