Road Closure: 514391 — Milton Keynes

A high-severity road closure is set to affect motorists in the Milton Keynes area, with the 514391 road closed due to National Highways' maintenance work on the Strategic Road Network, powered by National Highways' Transport Data Feeds. The closure, which is scheduled to take place from 21:00 on 31 July 2026 to 04:00 on 01 August 2026, is being carried out by National Highways, the highway authority responsible for the maintenance of major roads in the UK. The closure is expected to cause significant disruption to traffic in the area, and drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid delays.

National Highways has confirmed that the closure is necessary to carry out essential maintenance work on the road, and that the work is part of a larger programme of improvements to the Strategic Road Network. The highway authority has advised drivers to use alternative routes to avoid the closure, and to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out on their journeys. Drivers can use online route-planning tools to find the best alternative routes, and can also tune into local radio stations for updates on traffic conditions.
