A4146 road

The A4146 is a minor A-class road running through south central England from M1 Junction 14 at Milton Keynes, through Leighton Buzzard and Dagnall to Hemel Hempstead, where it terminates at the A414.

In Milton Keynes, the road briefly follows the H6 Childs Way from Junction 14 before turning south onto the V11 Tongwell Street, west again onto the H10 Bletcham Way and once more to the south where it joins with the A5. It then separates again, continuing as the Milton Keynes southern bypass south of Fenny Stratford and Bletchley, Milton Keynes. This short stretch of the A4146 bypass was built in 2004 - this was a stretch of fully-landscaped dual carriageway spanning the very south of Milton Keynes.

toke Hammond diversion

From a point just south of Water Eaton, Milton Keynes, a brand new alignment has been built for the road, forming the Stoke Hammond and Linslade western bypass, and hugging the route of the West Coast Main Line. This route opened on 14 September 2007. The route is planned to tie in with a proposed A418 Wing bypass. The new road features five new roundabouts, including one on the 2004 section, four overbridges and three underpasses.

The bypass was the focus on an anti-road protest. During the protest two women, chained themselves to a digger. They were arrested and charged and later acquitted. [cite web|url=http://www.roadblock.org.uk/press_releases/2005-05-16.htm|title=Road Block press release|accessdate=2008-01-13]
