Beaminster Tunnel has reopened.

The tunnel, on the A3066, was closed over the weekend and Monday morning while workers repaired hazardous drain covers Dorset Council said were in danger of collapse.

It reopened late Monday afternoon.

A spokesperson for the council apologised for any inconvenience, adding: "We’re pleased to say these repairs have now been completed and the road reopened.

"While the team completed these works, we also carried out essential maintenance which means we will not have to carry out a further closure that had been planned for next month."
