United Kingdom, Thursday, 21 August 2025.
Universal is poised to transform the UK’s theme park landscape with an ambitious £50 billion resort project in Bedfordshire, requiring critical infrastructure upgrades. Scheduled to open in 2031, the 476-acre development will create 20,000 construction jobs and 8,000 permanent positions, making it the largest visitor attraction in the United Kingdom. Local council leader Adam Zerny emphasizes the necessity of significant transportation improvements, including road network modifications at Junction 13 and A1 roundabouts. The project represents a landmark agreement between Universal and the UK government, promising to deliver one of Europe’s most advanced theme parks and potentially generating substantial economic impact for the region.
