A35 reopens following months of rail bridge replacement works

The A35 at Holmsley has reopened as rail bridge replacement works enter the final phase today.

However, temporary four-way traffic signals have now been set up at the junction with the two side roads, to the west of the new bridge, to protect both road users and the workforce while construction activity continues.

The C10 Station Road is due to reopen a few days later, albeit as a single lane with two-way temporary traffic signals in place, while essential drainage improvement works are completed.

Localised traffic management will be needed on both roads for various construction activities until the end of June when both the bridge and highway improvement works are expected to be fully completed.

The 40mph temporary speed limit will remain in place on the A35 until then.
