A6/A507 Clophill roundabout consultation gets going
Date Added: 16/05/2022
We have plans to improve the busy A6/A507 roundabout at Clophill and we're driven to understand what you think.
Consultation on the scheme that benefits from £6.8 million of government Levelling Up funding is now live and runs until Monday 11 July 2022.
To read more about the proposals and to comment on the plans please go to: www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/consultations
The proposals, shaped through community engagement earlier this year, would see two entry and exit lanes created on all four arms of the roundabout. This would create more capacity with more vehicles able to enter and leave the roundabout at the same time.
This would reduce congestion and journey times benefiting you as road users. Less time queuing and smoother flowing traffic would also help reduce CO2 emissions and improve air quality.
Four signalised toucan crossings would be installed, one at an appropriate position on each arm. These convenient and easy-to-use crossings would benefit pedestrians and cyclists and would be accompanied by a series of new footways and other improvements to encourage more active travel.
The footbridge on the A507 eastern arm would be removed. Its long access ramp needs to come down to widen the road to accommodate the extra lanes the project needs to ease congestion on all arms of the roundabout. One of the four toucan crossings would take its place.

A flythrough of the scheme
Plans would see work starting on the scheme in autumn 2022 and take about 12 months to complete.
