Upgraded Infrastructure

A5-M1 Link - After an investment of over £162 million, the new Dunstable northern bypass opened in May 2017, providing a fast-dual carriageway link to the new M1 junction 11A.

M1 widening - Upgrade to a dual-four lane motorway standard between junctions 6A-10 (Luton-M25) and All-Lane Running (ALR) smart motorway between junctions 13-16.

Urban extension

The Houghton Regis North Strategic Allocation is a major urban extension on the northern side of the town between the A5 and the M1 junction 11a. The scheme calls for around 7,000 new homes.

Airport expansion

£110m redevelopment project for London Luton Airport has been approved. The expansion will increase the annual capacity of the airport by 50% to 18 million passengers a year by 2020. It will also significantly improve the passenger experience at the terminal.
