Road to close in Bedford's Queen's Park as speed calming measures introduced
You may remember back in June when we revealed a raft of road safety measures were set to be brought in.
The council plans to instal speed bumps on Old Ford End Road – and it was part of a wider combo of road humps, speed cushions and raised junction tables.
Well, Honey Hill Road will be temporarily shut at its junction with Old Ford End Road to start the ball rolling.
The closure will run from August 27 to 29 from 8am to 6pm – so a speed table can be installed.
If you’re unsure, a speed table is a flat-topped mound spanning the full width of the road which forces cars to slow down.
The alternative route during the closure is via Honey Hill Road, Ouseland Road, Old Ford End Road and the reverse route applies.
