Emergency gas main works began here on 11 April, for around three weeks according to the sign but, today, they are even overrunning the suggested 10 weeks written by some wag below the original figure. This is just one of numerous gas-related works that have required traffic lights or even road closures around Bournemouth in the last few months. The temporary traffic lights are a particular nuisance on this busy route because there is a signal-controlled junction in close proximity beyond.
