Thorn Road was closed officially from 27th August 2018. The road is not due to reopen until 31 July 2020.

The work is required infrastructure to help manage anticipated traffic flows for an additional 1,850 homes being constructed as 'HRN2' at Bidwell and Thorn in Houghton Regis, Central Bedfordshire. A range of other Highway works are also to be done to help Bedford Road through this period and beyond specifically in connection with the HRN2 outline planning permission.
