Lansdowne transformation begins 15 March

The first stage of major improvements to the Lansdowne area will commence on 15 March 2021.

This initial phase will require Holdenhurst Road, between Lansdowne Roundabout and Station Roundabout, to be closed to vehicles for approximately 12 weeks. A diversion will be in place via St Swithun’s Road and Christchurch Road.

Access for people walking and cycling along Holdenhurst Road will be maintained, with efforts made to ensure that businesses can continue their operations with minimal disruption.

If any of our levy payers have any queries while the works are taking place, they can contact lansdowne@balfourbeatty.com between 9am and 4pm Monday to Friday.
