Update: This incident has now cleared and the information below may no longer be relevant
New Road around West Parley is congested in both directions between the Parley Cross Roundabout and the Northbourne Roundabout due to emergency roadworks.
Temporary traffic lights have been installed on the A347 near the River Stour Bridge and there are delays of around 30 minutes reported.
As a result, the B3073 Christchurch Road from the airport is heavily congested westbound, Whitelegg Way northbound, and New Road from Ferndown are also busy.
Elsewhere this evening, the roadworks on the Christchurch bypass continue to cause delays on the approach on Barrack Road and Fairmile Road, whilst Canford Way has its usual rush-hour delays eastbound.
