Works on the Shepreth section of the Melbourn Greenway began in May

Current construction work – Shepreth

As part of our ongoing works, road resurfacing and lining has been carried out on Fowlmere Road between the Barron’s Green junction and Angle Lane. New road markings and lining have also been completed between Barron’s Green and Shepreth Railway Station.

We have largely completed works at Barron’s Green where a raised table crossing is under construction. this will slow vehicle speeds while providing a level, accessible surface for people crossing the road. We will return to complete the crossing after the electrical cables for the streetlights have been installed.

Temporary road closures and diversions:

Fowlmere Road will be closed with no vehicle access to the A10. Vehicles will be able to use all other roads in Shepreth village. Access to properties along Fowlmere Road will be maintained at all times, but vehicles must approach from the village. This closure is required to facilitate works on the A10. Once installed, the closure will be in place until all works are completed on site. An interactive map showing the diversion routes is below.
