The Comberton Greenway will be a new or improved walking, cycling and, where appropriate, horse-riding route between Comberton, Hardwick, Coton, Cambridge University West Campus and Cambridge.
Latest news
Early works for the Comberton Greenway are underway.
The crossing outside Comberton Village College is now complete, meaning students can walk and cycle to school more safely and people in the local community can access the Co-op.
We have also completed Kentings and Barrons Way junction improvements. This included shortening the crossings, reconstructing the footway and installing new street lighting. We resurfaced both junctions with new road markings, which were completed overnight to minimise disruption.
For any concerns or comments regarding the construction of works on the Comberton Greenway, you can contact our contractors Milestone Infrastructure directly via email: greenways@milestoneinfra.co.uk or phone: 0800 0281363.

Route details
Comberton Greenway will be 6 miles with 2.5 miles of other links.
The draft route starts in Comberton and will include a further improvement to the existing link towards Barton. The main route heads north alongside Long Road and is joined by a link from Hardwick. The greenway then continues towards Coton. There are additional wide grassy verges for horse riders, joggers and ramblers. We will use bee-friendly plants to make the route attractive and support a wide range of wildlife. The area around the M11 bridge will have a wider pathway and a new surface. The greenway then carries on past the Cambridge University West Campus. A new link branches off towards Barton Road before the path continues along Adams Road, Grange Road and Sidgwick Avenue before reaching Silver Street. It then joins other cycle roads into and around Cambridge.
