Cambridge Eastern Access

Introduction

Cambridge Eastern Access (CEA) aims to make it easier, safer and more efficient for everyone to travel to and from Cambridge from the east.

We’re proposing more cycleways, bus lanes and better pavements along Newmarket Road. Phase one of CEA also includes moving the current park and ride site to a new travel hub just off Airport Way, with phase two proposals for a new busway through the current Cambridge Airport site.

Extensive public engagement and consultation has taken place on the proposals. Our board agreed to develop the proposals for a relocated travel hub on Newmarket Road ahead of submitting a planning application.

  • Phase one proposes more cycleways, bus lanes and better pavements along Newmarket Road, and includes moving the current park and ride site to a new travel hub just off Airport Way.
  • Phase two proposes a new busway route through the current Cambridge Airport site, connecting villages to the east via Newmarket Road, providing links to Babraham Research Campus and Granta Park to the southeast, extending westward toward Cambourne via Bourn Airfield, and linking Waterbeach to the north.
