The Cambs County Council Cycling Projects Team has informed us about the full road closure that will be in place on Arbury Road between St Catherine’s Road and St Albans Road for the whole of the school summer holidays (25 July – 2 Sept).
The road closure will allow the bulk of the Phase 1 works for the Arbury Road cycleway scheme to be finished in the summer holidays. It will mean contractors won’t have to work restricted hours and they won’t be working in the section outside the school, possibly causing issues for staff, parents and children, when the school opens again in September.
A letterdrop in the Arbury/King’s Hedges/Orchard Park area will be carried out next week. They will also be contacting local schools, community centres, businesses etc. Road signs will go up shortly and a press release will also be issued.
Well it was still closed today (8th Sept). Once again roadworks that have over run at the expense of another hair brained ‘green’ cycling scheme. It caused total grid lock during rush hour as traffic diverted to Histon road. Once again misery for the Cambridge motorist and who knows what impact this has had on local business, industry and not to mention the escalated pollution levels.
