MAJOR roadworks at Castle Lane West in Bournemouth should be completed within the next week, bringing relief to motorists.

The project to improve the junction of Castle Lane West and East Way, install traffic lights and create new cycle lanes is now nearing completion.

The new traffic lights should be switched on in the next few days. Workmen will still be on site resurfacing the pavements, but this is expected to finish by mid October.

The work was due to finish by the end of August, ready for the new school term, but was delayed by a month.
