Milton Keynes Road Closure — 15 August 2026 at 19:15

Motorists in the Milton Keynes area are advised to plan their journeys carefully due to a planned overnight closure on a section of the strategic road network. The closure will take place on a stretch of road with the reference number 516006, which is managed by National Highways.

The road closure is scheduled to start at 7pm on Wednesday, 15 August 2026, and is expected to last until 5am on Thursday, 16 August 2026. National Highways is undertaking the closure as part of its ongoing maintenance and improvement work on the strategic road network. This essential work will enhance the overall safety and efficiency of the road, benefiting both local residents and commuters.

Drivers who use this section of road regularly are advised to check traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for real-time updates before setting out on their journey. These apps can help identify the most up-to-date traffic information and suggest alternative routes to avoid the closed section of road. Motorists can also plan their journeys in advance by visiting National Highways' website or contacting its customer service team for more information.

For those travelling through the area, alternative routes should be considered to avoid any potential delays. While the road closure is in place, National Highways will have traffic management measures in place to ensure the safety of road users and to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic on adjacent roads. However, these measures are subject to change, and drivers should remain vigilant and follow all instructions provided by traffic marshals or signs.

The planned road closure is a necessary step towards maintaining and improving the condition of our strategic roads, which are a vital part of the UK's transport infrastructure. By investing in these essential works, National Highways is working to reduce congestion, improve air quality, and enhance the overall driving experience for millions of road users across the UK.
