Weymouth Relief Road

The project is to build a single carriageway road, with crawler lane along part, linking the A354 Manor Roundabout near Radipole to the A354 at the top of the Ridgeway Hill.

Work to build the £87.4m road has started, following full funding approval from the Government. The route will improve the reliability of journey times on the A354 between Weymouth and Dorchester, and help to support public transport.

The new edition of The Route is out now, A pdf file The Route - May 2009 [263kb] [PDF] (opens in a new window). There was a delay in the publishing of this newsletter due to the publicity restrictions during the pre-election period. If you would like to receive future editions of The Route by email send your details to Weymouth relief road project manager.

Five Dorset residents, who met on the relief road project, will be taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge to  raise money (opens in a new window) for VSO, an international development charity that sends people from a range of professions to volunteer on aid projects in 42 of the poorest countries in the world.
