Dear Sir/Madam

Micro Asphalt Surface Treatment - A3066 St Andrews Road and Sea Road North, Bridport 25th August 2020 to 4th September 2020

Following the Government’s guidance for construction activity– that it should continue where it fits with both the current Public Health England requirements and in accordance with industry safety guidance – Dorset Council is restarting a programme of carefully selected maintenance works.

We hope to start work on 25th August 2020 and finish on/by 4th September 2020. We will be working 9am to 4pm and we will be asking residents to move cars off the road before 9am during this time.

To carry out the work, roads being treated will have to be controlled using convoy working with stop/go boards and a convoy escort vehicle in operation. The works will be completed by Colas Ltd on behalf of Dorset Council. Should you have any queries, please call Colas directly on 01476 404200. To enable us to safely carry out this work the restrictions will be in place between 9am and 4pm each day. The road will be unrestricted overnight and at the weekend.
