Story summary

The River Lea has been rerouted for the construction of Luton Town Football Club's new stadium at Power Court, scheduled to open in 2028.
Over 300 meters of concrete tunnel have redirected the river, which previously flowed through the pitch area.
The original river route was blocked, creating a riverside leisure area for residents and supporters.
Michael Moran from 2020 Developments highlighted collaboration with the Environment Agency for this project.
Upcoming construction phases include piling, starting later this year, with visible structure development expected by summer 2026.
