Safer travel for Barton, Grantchester and Cambridge.
Safer walking, wheeling and cycling between Cambridge and the western villages of Barton and Grantchester.
The greenway will see improvements made to well used paths by local school children who commute to and from Barton primary school.
It will provide better connections to local places such as Burwash Manor and provide a link to the Comberton Greenway.
We will also be providing landscaping and planting within the village to compliment the local environment.
Barton Road (City boundary to Haggis Farm Roundabout)
We’re working on improvements to the path along Barton Road – between the Haggis Farm Roundabout and city boundary – until early 2025.
Progress, what we did in August
In August we started to install the fibre network ducting and temporary footway. With ducting inplace, the road won’t be dug up as often in future for utilities repairs, meaning our new surface will be smoother for longer. We also cleared vegetation which will enable the construction of the temporary path.
Looking ahead, what will happen in September and October
Over the next six weeks, we will be continuing the installation of the fibre ducting and temporary footway construction with the main diversionary path coming into use mid-October.
