Local MP's and Bucks Council members were at the official opening of the new link road at the Kingsbrook development in Aylesbury.
The new road will link the A4157 to the A418, allowing traffic to travel through the area and bypass Bierton village.
It's part of developers Barratt David Wilson's promise to invest £81 million in the local area.
The road opening also marks the launch of a new bus route which will connect Kingsbrook residents to Aylesbury and the surrounding area.
In attendance was Greg Smith, MP for Buckingham, he comments:
“It was a pleasure to visit Kingsbrook today, and to officially open the Eastern Link Road, which will reduce traffic through Bierton and allow additional public transport routes to run.”
Also Steven Broadbent, Buckinghamshire Council Cabinet Member for Transport, said:
“This new road forms part of the Council’s long-term vision for a series of link roads around Aylesbury to support the wider regeneration of the town centre, help drive our economic growth and recovery in Buckinghamshire and generate employment opportunities. I would like to thank all those involved for everything they have done to deliver this important new link for Aylesbury.”
