Grid two covers the northern end of Baldock bypass where the single carriageway A505, Royston Road, leads into Baldock or away towards Ashwell, Royston and Cambridge. We also see the Wallington Road which is to be redirected due to the bypass.

In grid two the new dual carriageway starts to move away from the existing A505 road while dropping in to a cutting and passing under a new bridge to be built over the bypass.

The new bridge over Baldock bypass will be used to link two new roundabouts together forming a new junction to the bypass, Royston Road and Wallington Road.

The new roundabout on the western side of thebypass carriageway will have the existing Royston Road redirected through it and provide both on and off access to the northbound bypass carriageway and a link via a bridge over the bypass to the eastern roundabout.

The roundabout on the eastern side of Baldock bypass as well as providing the on and off access to the south bound carriageway will also have the redirected Wallington Road joining it.

The existing Royston Road will become an access road from the bypass roundabout to Baldock with the street lighting extended up to the junction. There will also be a separate access road from the bypass roundabout using some of the existing Royston Road leading to The Firs.

The remaining Wallington Road will become a bridleway. Effectively the Wallington Road will no longer lead in to the south of Baldock but join the existing Royston Road, currently the A505 and enter the town towards the north.
