A5 LED lights being installed, 11 to 13 March 2024
We’re replacing our old streetlights with LED ones on the A5 in Milton Keynes.
Our work will replace the old street lights at the Kelly’s Kitchen roundabout with new, energy efficient LED lights. This will ensure the A5 continues to be well lit while reducing our carbon footprint for years to come.Work will begin on Monday 11 March 2024 and is expected to be completed by Wednesday 13 March 2024.
Upcoming closures and diversions
Our work will take place on the A5 Kelly’s Kitchen roundabout. Work will be carried out between 8pm and 6am.
To carry out the work safely we will need to close the Watling Street junction with the roundabout while we are working.
Drivers looking to join the A5 from Watling Street will instead head east at the Bletchley Roundabout to take Bletcham Way eastbound to join the A5 at Bletcham roundabout and head southbound to reach the Kelly’s Kitchen roundabout.
Drivers exiting the A5 will follow this diversion in reverse.

We are laying a new road surface southbound between the Portway junction (junction with A509) and Kelly’s Kitchen Roundabout on the A5 in Milton Keynes.
Work started on Monday 16 October 2023, and we expect to finish during March 2024.
Work will be carried out nightly between 8pm and 6am (excluding Sundays), weather conditions permitting.
Road closure dates
We have been unable to work because of the recent bad weather. So we have scheduled two overnight closures on the northbound carriageway so we can continue our resurfacing work.
