Construction starts on cycle routes across Gloucestershire, Tameside

Various initiatives across the UK are enhancing walking and cycling infrastructure. In Gloucester, construction on the next phase of the city's cycle spine is set to begin on March 10, 2025, aimed at improving connectivity and supporting carbon reduction goals. Meanwhile, a £10.3 million scheme in Tameside is upgrading a walking and cycling route, expected to finish in three months, to encourage greener travel options. In Bishop's Stortford, a long-awaited pedestrian crossing on Hadham Road will be installed in April, providing safer access for schoolchildren. Additionally, a cycle and pedestrian bridge in Newtown is nearing completion, with critical safety components finally arriving for installation. These projects reflect a growing commitment to sustainable transport solutions in communities.
