Temporary Road Closure Barford Road, Little Barford

 

Friday 25 September to Monday 19 October 2026

 

What is happening?

We’re writing to let you know that Barford Road, Little Barford, will be closed from 9pm on Friday 25 September until 6am on Monday 19 October 2026. This closure is needed so we can carry out drainage works and final tie-in works for the new road alignment safely. The road will be closed 24 hours a day for the duration of these works. 

 

Access for residents within the closure area will be maintained. Please be advised, there will be no through route between St Neots and Tempsford via Barford Road, Little Barford Road during this period.

 

Realignment and tie-in works 

To realign Barford Road over the new bridge, we need to connect the new embankments to the existing road. This work involves: 

  • Removing the existing road surface
  • Installing deep drainage, kerbs, and the road base 
  • Building a new access to residential properties and farm
  • Completing the final surfacing and white lining

We will make every effort to complete these works as quickly as possible; however, please note that all dates are subject to change due to weather conditions and operational requirements.

 

We appreciate that this may cause some inconvenience and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding while we carry out these essential works.
