Brand new underpass opens today after months of road closure frustrations in Milton Keynes

The underpass links Two Mile Ash to the Western Expansion Area ,providing a safe place to cross for pedestrians and cyclists.

Council contractors have been busy since last year building the new underpass, roundabout and pedestrian crossings are on the V4 Watling Street grid road between Whitehouse and Two Mile Ash.

The work is designed to make crossing the road safer for residents in the 6,550 new homes that will eventually be built in MK's Western Expansion Area.

But its complexity meant a chunk of the V4 had to remain closed for the duration.

On Monday the road re-opened at the H3 Monks Way/Calverton Lane site,near Fairfields.
