Bournemouth Airport – Route from A31 disrupted

From Thursday 2 February 2012, the next main phase will begin and will involve carriageway works, diversion of the drainage systems and modifying the level of the existing roundabout carriageway to enable the new dual carriageway section through the centre of the junction to be constructed.

These closures will be phased and have been carefully planned to keep disruption to a minimum. Contractors will be working continuously from 7.30am on Mondays (day and night) until 5.30pm on Saturdays. On Sundays work will take place from 7.30am to 5.30pm.  So if you are held up during these hours and nobody is working feel free to contact the main contractor!!!

When are the closures happening?

Planned Dates Duration Local Road Closures
Thursday 2 February to Thursday 16 February 2012 2 Weeks Closure to Wimborne Road West (Ferndown side) and Ham Lane at Canford Bottom Roundabout access and exits  
Friday 17 February to Thursday 8 March 2012 3 Weeks Closure to all four local roads Wimborne Road West (Ferndown and Wimborne sides), Canford Bottom Road and Ham Lane at Canford Bottom Roundabout access and exits
Friday 9 March to Friday 23 March 2012 2 Weeks Closure to Wimborne Road West (Wimborne side) and Canford Bottom Road at Canford Bottom Roundabout access and exits

The clousures mean that access to Bournemouth Airport will be disrupted from the A31 – alternative routes will be signed.  Extra travel time should be allowed when passing through the works.
