Night-time resurfacing works to the A631 Harpswell Roundabout will start on Monday 15 March.
Works temporarily paused due to forecasted cold weather - 08/04/2021
Due to recent and forecasted cold weather (which is not suitable for laying the top layer of new road surfacing), improvements to the A631 Harpswell roundabout have been temporarily paused.
Night-time road closures at the roundabout will resume from Monday 19 April, 7pm to 6am, for two weeks.
Subject to suitable weather, the works are now expected to complete on Friday 30 April.
Major improvements to A631 Harpswell Roundabout to start next month - 10/03/2021
The total programme of works is expected to last for four weeks, Monday to Friday, subject to suitable weather.
As part of the project, a night-time road closure will be in place from 7pm to 6am each weekday.
The improvements will be carried out in phases, with works taking place at one roundabout leg at a time. Advanced signage will be in place notifying road users which leg is currently being worked on.
The diversion route for the east and west A631 legs will be via A15 / A1500 / A156 / A631, and vice versa.

Karen Cassar, Assistant Director – Highways, said: "As part of these works, we will be rebuilding sections of the A631 Harpswell Roundabout that are nearing the end of their serviceable life.
"This will involve removing the current carriageway and replacing it with 3,300 tonnes of tarmac and other road materials.
"We'll be doing everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum, including carrying the works out overnight so people using it in the day aren't affected by the works, as well as only closing one leg of the roundabout at a time.
"Once complete, these improvements will make travelling the A631 much safer and more comfortable for all road users."
