Full steam ahead for the South-East Aylesbury Link Road

Buckinghamshire Council has appointed a new contractor to complete the remainder of the biggest section of the scheme.

The South-East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR) is being built in two sections with work well underway. The two sections will link to form 1.1 miles of new dual carriageway, including three new roundabout junctions and a new bridge across the railway line to London. Both sections are well on track and due to complete within the next two years.

The Lower Road and Wendover Road roundabouts, part of the longer section of new road, are progressing well with constructors Galliford Try now appointed to complete the remaining works for this phase; namely the section between Wendover Road and Lower Road including the bridge over the railway. It's anticipated that that this link should be open during the latter part of 2026. The section linking HS2's new Stoke Mandeville Relief Road to Lower Road is expected to be open sooner, during the next 12 months. 

Once complete, the South-East Aylesbury Link Road will form a crucial part of a new Orbital Link Road around Aylesbury providing a new route around the town, significantly easing congestion through the town centre and delivering new cycling and walking routes.

Leader of Buckinghamshire Council, Martin Tett said: "This is an incredibly complex project which has involved bringing many different elements together and overcoming some hurdles along the way. It is brilliant news we now have a contractor in place to complete the rest of the work on the main section of this new road which will go a huge way to easing the traffic problems regularly experienced in Aylesbury. It really is a critical piece of infrastructure that will bring huge benefits to residents and business – reducing congestion, improving the environment and facilitating housing and job growth in and around Aylesbury. We urgently need the right infrastructure in place in Aylesbury and this is a key part of that, being directly delivered by the council."
