DIVERSIONS and traffic signals will operate at a busy Christchurch junction from today.

Southern Gas networks will be carrying out works in Stour Road and Barrack Road until June 16.

Vehicles travelling from Tuckton towards Christchurch railway station on the B3059 Stour Road are unable to cross Barrack Road or turn right and diversions are in place.

Four-way traffic lights are also leading to longer than usual waits at the junction due to the replacement of gas mains.
