A6001 Link in Biggleswade A6001 Henlow Camp - Biggleswade

The current route of the A6001 is the former A1 through Biggleswade.

The 1922 route of the A6001 was from the A600 at Henlow Camp north to meet the A1 in Biggleswade. When the A1 bypass was built in the 1960s, the A6001 was extended to meet the A1 at both ends of the bypass. More recently, the original route of the A6001 has been downgraded to B659 leaving only the section through Biggleswade.
