Drivers in a Hampshire village are being warned as road works are set to hit a busy road.

A full road closure will be in place on Beaulieu Road in Dibden Purlieu next week as Hampshire County Council undertakes road works.

Highway crews will be completing highway repair and maintenance works on the road and drivers are being warned.

As the road is a major road through the town and houses both the Hythe Hospital and Waterside Health Centre, Hampshire County Council has opted to undertake these works at night.

The road will be fully shut to motorist between Thursday, February 27 and Friday, February 28 – but will only be closed between 8pm and 6am.

Those on foot should also note that the pavements are not affected as a part of this development.

A diversion route has been set up, which takes drivers on the A326, turning left onto Fawley Road.
