A ROAD in Poole undergoing resurfacing works will reopen 18 hours later than planned as crews experience delays.

BCP Council's highway reconstruction work in Station Road at the junction with Commercial Road and the junction with Wessex Road will not be completed by 4pm today (Friday) as initially planned.

The authority says following delays, crews will now be working through the night to get the impacted section of Station Road reopened by 10.00am on Saturday, May 14.

A signed diversion route will remain in place at the site, which has been closed since May 5.
