The greenway is approximately 6km, connecting Stapleford and Great Shelford to Cambridge.
Two sections of the Sawston Greenway, Great Shelford/Stapleford and the DNA path, are undergoing further buildability and road safety checks. The rest of the scheme will go to our executive board in the summer for a decision on progressing the project to construction in late 2026/early 2027.
The Sawston Greenway will make it easier for people to walk, wheel or cycle between Sawston, Stapleford and Great Shelford. The Sawston Greenway will join the DNA path at Granham’s Road into Francis Crick Avenue in the Biomedical Campus to Robinson Way and Long Road Sixth Form College.
All of our greenways routes will have signage and wayfinding, which will help people who are not familiar with the route.
Updates can be found by signing up to receive our monthly newsletter, which shows the progress of our greenways.
Streetlighting will be upgraded throughout the route to improve safety
