We're bringing you the latest updates from across the greenways so you can see what improvements are happening near you and when works might take place.
This month there are important updates on the following greenways:
Improvements in Barton village
The first stage of our improvement works in Barton village along New Road are due to be completed next month. These will introduce a range of safety improvements in the village which will particularly benefit children and families travelling to and from Barton Primary School.
Key improvements include:
While New Road is temporarily closed, we’d like to remind everyone businesses in Barton are open as usual.
Barton Road path to be widened
Work to widen the walking and cycling path on Barton Road (A603), east of the Haggis Farm Interchange (M11 exit), will start next month. The construction of a temporary path will mean those who walk and cycle to work, school or leisure can continue to have access to safe and accessible journeys. Works to widen the path will mostly be carried out overnight to minimise disruption.
Adams Road
Construction plans for the first ‘Cycle Street’ in England on Adams Road are nearly complete, and works are expected to begin this summer. The plans will make the route safer for cyclists and will also provide wider pavements for pedestrians to create a safer, more accessible environment on one of Cambridge’s busiest active travel routes.
As our plans progress, directly impacted residents and businesses will receive further details relating to the construction of the scheme via letter prior to works commencing.
Coton
Upgrades to junctions at Brook Lane and High Street, and High Street and Cambridge Road will be introduced in Coton this summer. . These will ensure speeds are kept slow, especially in front of Coton C of E Primary School, providing safer crossings for staff, students and parents.

Phase 1 works
Next month we will resurface sections of Cow Lane and Apthorpe Street in collaboration with Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) before our full works programme for Phase 1 begins later this year.
During these works there will be a diversion route along Pierce Lane. Resident access will be maintained throughout, however there may be Properties which will be directly affected have already been contact by CCC and provided the key works information and contact details.

Cowley Road
The new segregated cycle track and separate footway along Cowley Road are now complete. The path gives priority to people walking, wheeling and cycling along the route at side roads and creates new, safer crossings to the business and science parks for employees and visitors.
Designs for the scheme are now in the final stages, and we‘re preparing to submit a planning application for the route. Construction is expected to start towards the end of 2025.
