Universal Studios is coming to Bedford, but with 55,000 people coming on a busy day and 60% of those coming by road, how will the local roads cope? Well, Universal’s plan is to build a dedicated slip road off the A421. The A421 connects with junction 13 of the M1 on the west side and the Black Cap roundabout on the A1M on the other end. But will that be enough? Local residents and the council have voiced concerns that if any of those roads were to be affected by a unexpected event causing some traffic, then some of the theme park traffic might be diverted onto smaller local roads. Now, obviously, this site wasn’t always farmland.

Do you think the plans laid out are enough? Do you think Universal have gone above and beyond already to satisfy the needs of their patrons and local residents? Let me know in the comments.
