ROADWORKS branded a 'nightmare' by residents have now entered their next phase.
The works taking place in Blandford Road, Poole, have now moved on to Tuckers Lane.
Blandford Road is now open for two-way traffic from today, Friday, August 20, with temporary signals.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) who are carrying out the works have said the temporary signals will be removed as soon as possible once they move off Blandford Road and fully on to Tuckers Lane.

The programme of works are part of SSEN's £3.7 million investment in Poole’s electricity network.
The upgrade works began in April and SSEN have said it will benefit more than 19,000 Poole residents.
The project will run for eight months to enable the upgrade of 2.5 kilometers of underground cable; new sections of modern, robust cable will replace the existing oil filled cable which is reaching the end of its working life, allowing for a stronger network with capacity for future commercial and residential connections.
