A338 Spur Road reconstruction
Discussion
I'm going down to Poole today from Bucks.
Normal route would be M27, A31 and then A338.
Am I best coming off the A31 at Lyndhurst and going down the A35 to Christchurch and the the coast road through Bournwmouth to Poole OR A31 to Ferndown and then to Poole?
I'll be arriving at the A31 at around 11:30-12:00 if that makes any difference.
Cheers!

[quote=dig123]It would be helpful if there where signs leading up to the road works to use both lanes and then merge in turn, rather than form a long que of single traffic!
Thats because most people don't know how to use the whole road, and merge as the lane closure starts.
People will wait on the inside lane, then get upperty when someone uses the fully open outside lane, to merge, then isn't let in.

Agree, hence a sign for those who get upset at some one using the empty lane or blocking both lanes. This has also been asked on the Dorset For You web site.Thats because most people don't know how to use the whole road, and merge as the lane closure starts.

Your route should not have taken you down the spur Rd if youd panned it right. Just head toward Ferndown and then Canford Bottom. From there head toward Gravel Hill and on to Poole from there. Bast of the bad options.
I'm coming down tonight to visit my parents in Bearwood & was going to follow this route but I'm reading some bits to say the water works on the Ringwood Rd have or are due to finish today in which case I could go straight through. Can anyone confirm deny this please?TIA

Is it just the time I am travelling but the A338 appears to have settled down a it now still a que but only appears to add 10mins to travel time up and down the A338.
Well you weren't stuck trying to get back to Bournemouth on Sunday then. Fuel spillage on the A338 and it was closed. Everything else f
ked right up.How the town will get through nine months of this I don't know.

Yay! (Thanks, what with the fk up of the Canford Bottom RB I'll take to the B-roads...)
Oops sorry - did not realise you said A31. k up of the Canford Bottom RB I'll take to the B-roads...)I've seen no problems at all on that road. Once you get to the top of the 338 it's back to 2 lanes so traffic flows ok.
It's the 338 that averages around 35.
