HEAVY traffic is forming on the A35 as a result of emergency repair work.

Temporary traffic lights have been 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 are stretching from Charmouth and westbound the queues start before Bridport.

Work on the "defective cover" is anticipated to come to an end in the next hour.
