The A35 was closed for several hours today after power cables fell down. 

Dorchester Road was closed both ways between the Mitsubishi roundabout, Bridport, and Shipton Road in Walditch so emergency repair works could be carried out.

Police had to close the road after electricity cables which fell down in the early hours of this morning.

The coast road is also closed for planned resurfacing works, so traffic has been heavily affected in and around Bridport today. 

The A35 has now reopened but delays remain.
