![Semington Bypass. This view of the bypass was taken from the Semington Aqueduct [[3440]].The bypass opened in 2004 to re-route the A350 around the village of Semington. The A350 is the primary North-South route into/out-of Dorset and so particularly in summer months can become extremely busy. The image shown here contains both typical and atypical content: as usual the southbound lane contains a line of traffic moving at less than the speed limit, most unusually the northbound lane is empty. by Doug Lee – 19 April 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/34/1263485_2eb2fbf5_120x120.jpg)
