Consultation launched on proposals to improve Addenbrooke's roundabout

Proposals to make Addenbrooke’s roundabout safer have been put before the public.

The Greater Cambridge Partnership has today launched a public consultation on proposals for a significant redesign of the busy roundabout that serves as a major entry and exit point to Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

The new design includes significantly wider cycle lanes and footpaths on both sides of Fendon Road-side of the roundabout to make it safer and easier to walk and cycle.

The central island would be reduced in size to accommodate the upgraded active travel links.

There are proposals to replace the staggered two-stage crossing on Babraham Road with a single-stage crossing, to further improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Further upgrades to other arms of the roundabout could follow in the future.

The proposals have been fast-tracked by the GCP under the Cycling Plus project with additional funding provided by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA).

Paul van de Bulk, Project Manager for the GCP, said:

“This new design aims to make it safer and easier for all road users to access vital services at Addenbrooke’s Hospital and Cambridge Biomedical Campus. I encourage everyone who travels to and from the site to have a look at our proposals and tell us their views before midday on 24 July.”
