Beaminster Tunnel Closed 8am -5pm – Thursday, 26th August

Beaminster Tunnel (A3066) will be closed for works tomorrow, to enable Upton Tree Services Ltd safe access to carry out urgent tree works on behalf of Dorset Council to remove a dead tree.

Tunnel Road will be closed at both entrances to the tunnel from 8am until 5pm. There is a 43 mile diversion route which will be signposted in both Dorset and Somerset: A3066 – A356 – A37 – A35 – A30. It is estimated the diversion journey will take just over 70 minutes.

The reason for the length of the diversion is because the closure is on an A-road and therefore any official alternative route must use the same class of road.

Locals will be aware that there are a number of shorter, unofficial routes that can be taken to avoid the road closure. Please note: these are not suitable for HGVs and should be avoided if using larger machinery or towing caravans. Drive safe!

The road closure notice will remain in force for five days, but it is anticipated that the works will be completed on the day.

For further information about the work being undertaken, call:
Upton Tree Services Ltd on 07384548283.
