Repair works underway in areas of Portland to restore access and improve drainage

Date Published: 
20 Mar 2020

The National Works Agency (NWA) is to begin works tomorrow, Saturday, March 21 to repair a defective culvert at West Hill along the Breastworks to Windsor roadway in Portland.

 

Works will get underway at 9 a.m. and while the roadway will not be closed for the installation of the new storm water drain, the movement of traffic will be restricted and motorists may encounter delays when travelling along the area.

 

NWA contractors also started works today to restore temporary access to the ford at Craig Mill in the parish. Material which washed away from the area during previous periods of heavy rain is being replaced with shingle. The works should be completed by the end of today.

 

The NWA is advising motorists to use the ford once access is restored as it is unsafe to continue to use the defective Craig Mill Bridge, which has been closed by the Agency.
