Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order reclassifies a new dedicated westbound on slip road at the A421/A600 junction at Shortstown, Bedford. The new dedicated on slip road will merge with the existing on slip road at a point approximately 120 metres from the junction roundabout. Once constructed, a 130 metre section of the widened on slip road from the roundabout at the eastern end of the westbound on slip road will be detrunked and responsibility for it will pass to the local highway authority.

The dedicated westbound on slip road is proposed to enable development of land on part of the old RAF Cardington site by increasing capacity at this junction.
