If you're planning on driving anywhere this week, it's probably worth seeing where roadworks are taking place to avoid delays.
As well as the closure of the A35 in the New Forest, this week, Bargates in Christchurch will partially close to traffic, and the A31 contraflow starts at Ringwood.
All these schemes have come with a warning of delays.
