Shared-use pathway and Granta Park roundabout work complete as Linton Greenway progresses

A shared-use pathway and crossing, as well as safety improvements at the Granta Park roundabout, have been completed.

The work along Newmarket Road in Little Abington aims to create better and safer journeys along the road to the Granta Park roundabout to east of Bourn Bridge Road, as part of the Linton Greenway.

Martin Meehan, Greater Cambridge Partnership project manager, said: “The new pathway significantly improves the ability for people to walk and cycle along Newmarket Road in Abington, providing a much safer and better link for Granta Park employees and Abington residents. When we started this project, we knew this area was key – we heard from residents and the local community how important giving them a path which they felt was safe and gave them choice in how they wanted to travel.

“While I am really proud of what we have done so far, there is still work to do as we deliver a new shared path linking Granta Park and Hildersham as well as upgrading the footbridge over the A11.”

Carriageway drainage was replaced to ensure it is efficient nd additional landscaping was created to make sure the new pathway and surroundings are safe.

A new shared-use pathway linking Granta Park to Hildersham will be delivered during the next phase of work, as well as upgrading the footbridge links over the A11 as part of the Cambridge South East Transport project.
