Next Monday (18th October), Cambridgeshire County Council will start on improvements to the shared use path on Cherry Hinton Road. Most of the work should be finished in six weeks. It has actually been waiting on the Mill Road work, to avoid too much disruption at one time.

Some finishing off work will be done in the New Year but the intention is not to have any traffic management work during December. I am sure everyone will appreciate that.

The works will be on the part of Cherry Hinton Road between Perne Road and Queen Edith’s Way — see map.

It will involve:

• improving crossings with side roads
• widening and resurfacing the path
• trimming back some trees and hedges
• marking out an on-road cycle lane in the city direction
• tidying up signage
• refreshing road markings

The work will mean that only one lane will be available but only at non-peak times, and two-way traffic signals will be in operation from time to time.
