Route details

Public engagement place in Autumn 2022. A summary of feedback we received can be found in the Summary Report and our course of action can be found in the You Said, We Did report.

Approvals from the Greater Cambridge Partnership’s Executive Board in March 2023 meant that early construction works could start on the route.

The GCP will continue to work through a range of agreements with landowners, planning applications, and a variety of legal permits and orders as well as finalise the designs with local stakeholders.
