Click to read our full update on these works.
The famous iron bridge in Newport Pagnell dates back to 1810 and is Grade I Listed Ancient Monument which means that any works however minor, by law must be pre-approved by Historic England and the government and carried out by specialists.
We carried out some general maintenance to the structure of the bridge including repainting the entire bridge. You can find out more information by clicking on the links below:
Tickford Bridge Works - Diversion Route

Newton Road, Bletchley

Traffic Management Plan including diversion routes
Tongwell Lane, Newport Pagnell
Started March 2021
Completed August 2021
Aim: to improve the footway to bring it up to redway standard and create a link between Newport Pagnell and the nearby estates to CMK. This scheme was funded by the Active Travel Fund.
Brinklow Roundabout, Kingston
Started and completed May 2021
Aim: to improve road safety at this location as the exceptionally cold, wet winter of 20/21 caused existing defects (potholes) to worsen significantly. All the existing road surface was removed and cabling was installed for future use at this location (if needed).
After the cabling was completed, the roundabout and the approaches were resurfaced with a new layer of asphalt, the linings were repainted and any street lights were repaired. As this is a busy roundabout carrying up to 30,000 vehicles per day, extra highways crews were diverted from other projects. This halved the time it would normally take for a scheme of this scale.
