The new cattle grids will  take approx. 7 weeks to complete in total throughout August and September. Dorset Highways will be undertaking the installation works, working Monday-Friday between 7.30am-4.30pm.

This will also involve constructing a ‘bypass road’ adjacent to each of the new cattle grids, this will be a gated, paved area and ensure access for pedestrians, cyclists and mobility vehicles unable to cross the cattle grid.
