A1 noise barrier at Eaton Ford - 28 October 2024 - March 2025
We’re installing a new noise barrier on the A1 near Eaton Ford, near St Neots in Cambridgeshire. This will reduce noise from A1 traffic reaching local properties, especially along Monarch Road and Duchess Close.
We've listened to concerns about the new barrier obstructing views of the countryside, and we will be installing a transparent Perspex barrier in some sections.
Upcoming closures and diversions
Work will begin on Monday 28 October 2024 and is expected to finish in March 2025. Most of our work will be done on the grass beside the road and should not need immediate road closures or reduced speed limits.
We do expect to have some overnight closures (9pm to 6am) on weeknights on the A1 southbound as our work progresses. We will share updates about these closures in due time.
