FOUR months of works have started on one of Boscombe's biggest roads.
As reported, Christchurch Road will be affected between Hannington Road and Gloucester Road as SGN engineers upgrade the gas network.
Traffic along the carriageway is so heavy that temporary traffic lights will be in operation for 12 hours a day, rather than just during peak times.
The road provides a major route for motorists travelling between the Iford Roundabout and Bournemouth, and is a key link between Boscombe and Pokesdown to the A338 Wessex Way.
Work began yesterday, Monday, and will take place over the course of the next 14 weeks.
Engineers will carry out the works at the junctions with Hannington Road and Rosebury Road between September 16 and October 4, Queensland Road and Warwick Road between October 4 and 25, Parkwood Road and Somerset Road between October 25 and November 16, and Gloucester Road between November 16 and December 13.
