Weymouth Relief Road

The Weymouth Relief Road is now open. It is a single carriageway road, with crawler lane along part of it, linking the A354 Manor Roundabout near Radipole to the A354 at the top of Ridgeway Hill.

The main carriageway of the Weymouth Relief Road (A354) opened on Thursday 17 March 2011.

The new sections of Littlemoor Road (A353) are now open.

The Bincombe Junction is also now open to traffic, linking Dorchester Road to the relief road.

Over the next few months we will be carrying out remedial works and completing fencing and landscaping across the scheme.

Weymouth Mount Pleasant Park and Ride

The new Weymouth Mount Pleasant Park and Ride is open now.  Bus services operate regularly throughout the day to and from both Weymouth and Dorchester town centres.
