Road Improvement Schemes
In consultation with local business it has been recognized that Bedford's connectivity can be improved even further by developing enhanced east west road links.
Following on from the construction of the highly successful Bedford Southern Bypass, the next phase of improvements has now been completed. This is the construction of the Great Barford Bypass linking the southern bypass to the A1, dramatically reducing journey time.
Consultation is also underway for widening of the A421 between Bedford and junction 13 of the M1 to create a dual carriageway. This development should drastically reduce the journey time between the A1 and M1 and in doing so will further enhance the superb locational benefits that make Bedford Central for Business.
Other forthcoming improvements include the Western Bypass and the A428 - A6 link. This will provide a speedy the link between the A6 and the A421 and hence M1 and A1, consequently reducing Town centre traffic in the process. Work should commence in the next two to three years.
