Pinewood Road Resurfacing Works Postponed

Published: 22 October 2025

Information from Dorset Council:

Due to a combination of delays in the programme and the onset of worsening winter weather conditions, we will need to reschedule the planned micro-surfacing works at Pinewood Road, Upton.

As you may be aware, from previous correspondence micro-surfacing is susceptible to weather conditions. It cannot be laid in heavy rain on wet roads or when road surface and air temperatures fall below 5°C on a rising thermometer, or where overnight freezing is expected. Given the current forecast, proceeding as planned would risk compromising the quality and longevity of the treatment.

We are therefore looking to reprogramme the works for delivery after the winter period. In the meantime, we will raise interim works to address any localised issues and ensure the condition of the site does not deteriorate further.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We will keep you updated and share the revised schedule as soon as it is confirmed.

Many thanks
