MOTORISTS are facing delays around Poole Bridge due to a traffic light issue.

Drivers are reporting problems with the signals at Rigler Road causing long tailbacks in the area.

There are reports of issues in Hamworthy with only a couple of vehicles passing through at a time.

A spokesperson for Borough of Poole said there was no issue with Poole Bridge itself and that traffic issues are being caused by phasing of traffic lights at the Rigler Road junction.

Engineers are aware of the problem and are working to resolve the issues as soon as possible.

The issue comes as Twin Sails Bridge is closed from today for maintenance.

Work is expected to run for up to seven days.
