East West Rail MVLA

Since the beginning of the year, EWRA has been working hard behind the scenes to prepare for the start of our main works in 2027. These works will include the renewal of the BFO/1B bridge over Saxon Street in Bletchley, construction of a new access road from Salford Road in Aspley Guise via Berry Lane to Bedford Road, a new overbridge at Marston Road in Lidlington and a new footbridge at Woburn Road (Kempston).

Progress to date includes:

• Ground investigation works across multiple sites
• De‑vegetation clearance along Saxon Street (Bletchley), Marston Road (Lidlington) and Woodley’s Farm (Woburn Sands)
• Installation of weld mesh and heras fencing to secure our works sites and land boundaries
• At Berry Lane, Aspley Guise, installation of two culverts and advanced boundary fencing
• Completion of PAS128 utility surveys at Bedford Road, Marston Road and Woburn Road to safely detect, verify and locate underground services

This early work is vital in ensuring safe, efficient and well-planned delivery as we move closer to construction. More updates to follow as progress continues.
