A421 Closed this weekend

The A421 will be closed this weekend, from 8pm on Friday 5th October until 6am on Monday 8th October. We need to close the road to ensure the safety of our workers and the public. We will try to limit any road closures to times of least traffic.

During the weekend closure we will divert utility cables and pipes, and remove trees and lampposts as part of the initial work, ahead of completing the dual carriageway. The closure will take place from the Eagle Farm roundabout to  Junction 13 of the M1.

The M1 road is open, however our diversion shows the alternative route for drivers who can’t or who don’t want to use the motorway. The alternative route avoids villages and goes via the A421 Bedford Western Bypass and then the A422 towards Milton Keynes. Read details of the diversion.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your patience during the roadworks.
