Overnight road closures planned as part of A5 maintenance works between Milton Keynes and Dunstable start tonight - and will run until September
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The work, to be carried out between 8pm and 6am, will include resurfacing, renewing road studs, refreshing line markings on the road and other safety improvements. National Highways says the maintenance will extend the life of the road and make journeys safer for motorists, and prevent the need for further closures in the future.
