A new foot and cycleway providing safe travel between South Cambridgeshire and key city sites has opened, marking the first in the delivery of City Deal schemes. The £550k scheme is the first Greater Cambridge City Deal project to be delivered and connects the village of Melbourn to the A10 cycleway via a safe 2.5m-wide and 2.5km-long cycle path. The path bridges a gap in the off-road route helping link Royston and Cambridge.
It is just one of the City Deal’s many projects underway to improve cycling and walking facilities in the region, and offers local cyclists and pedestrians safe travel between Melbourn, Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton to rail stations and key employment sites such as Melbourn Science Park and Sagentia.
Councillor Ian Bates said: “It is wonderful to see the delivery of the first of the City Deal’s transport schemes. We are looking to invest in projects that will make a real difference to travel options for local people and that will support the infrastructure we need to continue to grow, by connecting people, jobs and homes. Projects such as the foot and cycleway provide long-lasting solutions for sustainable travel that will help encourage walking and cycling as real options for daily travel.”
