The A421 has been closed between Great Barford and the Black Cat Roundabout after a lorry shed its load, causing significant disruption in the area. The incident occurred earlier today, and emergency services are on site managing the situation. The road remains shut in both directions, with clean-up efforts expected to take several hours.
Authorities have not provided a clear timeline for when the road will reopen, but drivers are being advised to avoid the area if possible. Alternative routes are recommended for those traveling between Bedford and St Neots, with nearby roads likely to experience increased traffic.
The closure is anticipated to cause delays throughout the day, especially during peak travel times. Local businesses and residents may also face disruptions as traffic is redirected through smaller roads. Updates on the situation will be provided as soon as further information becomes available.
