The works will include a full-depth reconstruction of the carriageway at Old Silsoe Road junction, drainage and utility road crossings, traffic island reconstruction, traffic signal installation and extensive carriageway resurfacing works.

Residents will still be able to access the Old Silsoe Road – but there will be no through route through Silsoe, apart from access for residents, businesses and visitors to Wrest Park.
