Cambridge South East Transport: What we've delivered

What we've delivered so far

We made upgrades to provide safer, greener and more reliable travel routes for everyone to the south east of Cambridge.

The Cambridge South East Transport programme is already making a meaningful difference to daily journeys. Along the A1307, we’ve delivered a series of targeted improvements for safer travel, more reliable buses and better connections for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

Upgraded junctions, new crossings, an expanded Park and Ride site, and greener infrastructure aim to create a more sustainable, accessible and resilient transport route for our communities.

Improving road safety and traffic flow at junctions

Bartlow Roundabout
  • A new roundabout replaced the Bartlow Road crossroads in Linton
  • A new right‑turn lane from the A1307 into Granham’s Road
  • Upgraded traffic signals at Linton Village College
  • New traffic lights at Linton High Street junction
  • Reconfigured Dean Road crossroads
  • Upgraded Dalehead Foods/Grain Store junction

Safer routes for walkers, wheelers and cyclists

Linton Greenway updated crossings
  • Wider paths and verges along the A1307 between Addenbrooke's and Babraham Research Campus
  • Upgraded crossings around Wandlebury, shorter dual carriageway sections and lower speed limits to 50mph
  • New signalised crossing at the Babraham Research Campus roundabout
  • New path to Granta Park
  • New signalised crossing at Hildersham crossroads
  • Widened paths along A1307 towards Linton

Boosting bus reliability

A1307 Bus Lane
  • New eastbound bus lanes on the A1307: 
    • From Babraham to the A11
    • Approaching the Linton Village College junction
  • These improvements support more reliable, faster bus journeys

Better sustainable travel

Babraham Road Park and Ride site new parking spaces
  • More covered cycle parking at Babraham Road Park & Ride to encourage park‑and‑cycle journeys into Cambridge
  • New electric vehicle charging points
  • 152 extra car parking spaces
  • Partnered with Cambridgeshire County Council’s Smart team to install solar canopies helping to power the Addenbrooke’s Hospital site

Linton Greenway

Scheme 3, the Linton Greenway, has been divided into 5 sections;

  • Sections 1 and 2 are complete and run alongside the A1307 between Addenbrooke’s and Babraham Research Campus.
    This consisted of widening of existing paths and verges to provide a path for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders, separated from the carriageway.
  • Section 3 involves further design work on the bridge crossing the A11 and is due to start construction in 2025.
  • Section 4 has been spilt into two phases of work, with phase 1 early works between Newmarket Road and Granta Park completed in autumn 2024.
  • Section 5 of the greenway is also in progress, with sections of the active travel path between Hildersham and Linton already widened.
    The route would then continue on-road through the Abingtons to the Hildersham crossroads.
