A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet improvements

Overview

This consultation has now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part.

This is the 2019 consultation. For the 2020 consultation please visit the 2020 consultation page.

We're consulting on proposals to upgrade the route between the Black Cat roundabout and Caxton Gibbet roundabout.

We’re planning to improve journeys between Milton Keynes and Cambridge with a new 10-mile dual carriageway and new and improved junctions along the route.

This will help bring communities together and support long-term sustainable growth in the region.

Why we are consulting

The purpose of this consultation is to seek your views on the scheme proposals. Your feedback will inform our continuing development of the scheme, up to the point at which we are ready to submit our application for planning consent.

You can find out more in our consultation booklet.
