M1-A6 business case approved
Date Added: 28/04/2021
The business case to access funding which will support the construction of the M1-A6 link road has been approved for submission to the Department for Transport by our Executive.
The M1-A6 link road, which is forecast to cost £61.5m, £32.75 of which has been secured by us from the Department of Transport, is a new strategic road that will create a northern Luton bypass running from the A6 road to junction 11a of the M1, connecting with the A5-M1 link road.
The new M1-A6 link road will be 2.75 miles (4.4km) long and includes a dual carriageway to a new planned rail freight interchange at Sundon Park, and then a single carriageway connecting to the A6. The link road will facilitate growth within the Local Plan that will bring with it opportunities for employment, leisure activities and housing.
