Commuters across Milton Keynes should plan for potential delays this week as a series of road closures continue to affect local bus services. Multiple routes are being diverted due to ongoing improvement works and major regeneration projects across the city, with some disruptions expected to last until June.
In Bletchley, Princes Way is currently closed for major engineering works as part of a wider project to improve the town centre. These improvements, funded by the government’s New Town Deal scheme, include the installation of three new signalised pedestrian crossings intended to better connect the bus, rail, and town centre areas. During this closure, which remains in place until 21 June 2026, bus services 5 and 6 are being diverted via Duncombe Street and Water Eaton Road. Additionally, Queensway is closed between Albert Street and Cambridge Street until 1 May 2026, causing further diversions for the X2 and X3 northbound bus routes.
Disruptions are also affecting travel near the city centre. Hospital Stop A in Eaglestone is closed until 25 April 2026 to allow for improvement works. All bus services that normally use this stop are currently redirected to Stop B, requiring passengers to turn at the Marina roundabout and the Hospital roundabout.
Beyond these long-term projects, residents should be aware of specific daytime road closures taking place between 8 April and 14 April 2026. Brickhill Street in Middleton is closed for maintenance from 8 April to 10 April, which is affecting the C1, C11, and Loop bus services. Furthermore, road work on Bradwell Road in Bradville is scheduled for 10, 13, and 14 April, impacting Service 5.
The Milton Keynes City Council advises passengers to allow extra time for their journeys while these works are carried out. Travelers can find updated information regarding their specific routes through Get Around MK.
