The two and a half metres wide path connects the two villages with a one mile long shared use path for both cyclists commuting to work and pedestrians wanting to get to each village. The scheme will also include improvements to the existing route between Babraham and Abington, which will be carried out in the next phase of work.
Says Roz Bird, Marketing and Asset Manager at Granta Park: “Having a green travel plan is very important to Granta Park as it means people find it easy to get to work and they have a number of options to chose from including the Granta Park commuter bus, a car sharing scheme and this much needed cycle path, which we are delighted will help the local community as well as commuters to Granta Park.”
The route, which is part of the Cycle Cambridge programme, a partnership of local councils working together to get more people cycling in Cambridge and the surrounding areas, was officially opened by Councillor Tony Orgee, Cabinet Member for Economy and the Environment and County Councillor for Sawston.
