Milton Keynes City Council will close Princes Way in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, from 11 February to 6 May 2026 for a phase of town-centre improvement works. The closure forms part of the Bletchley & Fenny Stratford Town Deal’s Public Realm and Saxon Street/Princes Way projects — elements of a multi‑million‑pound regeneration programme aimed at improving pedestrian safety, cycle links and wayfinding between Bletchley Railway Station and the town centre.
Passengers on services 5 and 6 — which serve the Lakes Estate — are among those most affected. During the works, buses heading towards central Milton Keynes will be diverted via Aylesbury Street and Watling Street/Saxon Street; services towards the Lakes Estate will divert via Duncombe Street and Water Eaton Road.
Get Around MK advises passengers to use temporary stops in Fenny Stratford or at Bletchley bus station while the diversions are in place.
The council says the works include new paving, improved signage, street furniture and other public-realm improvements to help people find their way to destinations such as Bletchley Park and to create a greener, safer town centre. While the closure is expected to lengthen some journeys during construction, council officials say the long-term benefits will improve connectivity and public space in the town centre.
