MAJOR overnight roadworks and contraflows on the Christchurch bypass and in Barrack Road are on schedule to finish today.

A Dorset County Council spokesman said: "Work to refurbish the Fountain Way roundabout in Christchurch was as good as finished this morning, well ahead of the original completion date of Saturday.

“All the resurfacing and lining work was completed on Monday night.

“The only remaining works are to the footway and pedestrian island at the Bargates junction, which can be done during the daytime without the need for traffic management.”
