HEAVY traffic formed on the A35 as a result of emergency repair work this afternoon.

Temporary traffic lights were put in place controlling motorists in both directions at Star Lane in Morcombelake.

A spokesman from Travel Dorset said that the lights outside Felicity's Farm Shop were causing "solid queues for several miles both ways". 

Eastbound the queues stretched from Charmouth and wesbound the queues started before Bridport.

The jams have now cleared.
