A BUSY route in the New Forest will be closed overnight until Tuesday July 23.

The B3058 Lymington Road from the A337 junction to Barnes Lane will be resurfaced as part of long-term road works by Hampshire County Council.

The work started on Thursday and is expected to last for 13 nights.

The road will be closed overnight between approximately 7pm to 7am and there will be a diversion in place at this time along the B3058 Cliff Road and A337 Lymington/Christchurch Road.

There will however be approximately 3 or 4 nights when the A337 junction with B3058 will be closed.

The diversion will then be signed along A337, B3058, A35, A326 and B3054.

The road will be open to through-traffic during the day and weekends.
