A safer route between Waterbeach, Milton and Cambridge North. 

Linking homes, schools and businesses in Waterbeach, Milton and northern Cambridge and joining up to the Chisholm Trail, Milton Road, Railway stations and Park and Rides for onward journeys.

We’re working to create a new, segregated cycle track and separate footway along Cowley Road. The path will have priority at side-roads and new crossings to the business parks.

The Cowley Road construction timeline has been extended due to unforeseen utility diversions that will be continuing into the new year. Communication ducting works are scheduled for before and after the festive period. To reduce disruption to businesses and the train station during this busy time, night-time working hours are being undertaken where possible.

We are working carefully around the area’s complex network of utilities, coordinating with providers to avoid service interruptions and ensure site safety. Current works include installing streetlight ducting along the western verge between St John’s Innovation Park and the A14 footbridge, expected to continue into early January, after which the area will be topsoiled and seeded.

Junction improvements are also underway to enhance safety and maintain traffic flow, with a phased approach ensuring access is maintained. Traffic lights are in place to safeguard both the public and our workforce, supported by on-site traffic management to minimise delays and preserve access to businesses.

Good progress continues in unaffected areas, with cycleway and swale construction advancing steadily, alongside drainage improvements ensuring usability year-round and safety enhancements at Anglian Water’s entrance near the A14 footbridge.

We understand the challenges these works may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to complete the project efficiently, with safety and minimising disruption as our priorities. Thank you for your ongoing support.
