New M1 junction and link road open

After three years of works, the A5-M1 Link road and new M1 junction (11a) open.

Traffic began using the long-awaited road, also known as the Dunstable northern bypass, from 06:00 this morning.

The 2.8-mile (4.5km) dual carriageway connects the new M1 junction to the A505 and the Woodside link road, which opened a month ago.

It is hoped the bypass will ease congestion through the centre of Dunstable.
