Massive queues with two sets of TTLs on A31

Updates

• Thank you for your report concerning temporary traffic lights on the A31.

  These traffic lights were implemented as an emergency measure as we identified a BT manhole cover as posing a safety risk to road users. We apologise for the disruption they have caused. I can confirm that we coordinated with BT to finish emergency repairs yesterday afternoon (13 October 2022), and will be able to fully reopen the road once it has been made safe.

  We appreciate your patience and understanding whilst we deal with our emergency safety repairs.

  If you require any further update on this issue our Customer Contact Centre is available 24 hours a day at:

  • 0300 123 5000

  • info@nationalhighways.co.uk

  Kind regards

  National Highways
