Work is starting in earnest on Monday 3 February, with traffic management at the junction of Histon Road with Victoria Road and Huntingdon Road. Temporary traffic lights will be in place between 9.30 am and 3.30 pm, weekdays only. Outside of our working hours, all the lights at the junction will work as usual. The junction works are set to take 18 weeks.
If you have any concerns during the construction, please get in touch with Skanska’s project team on histonroad.contact@skanska.co.uk or telephone their 24 hour contact centre on 0330 105 1980.
At the next Parish Council meeting (Monday 20th January) there will be a presentation at the start of the meeting by Harlaxton, who are undertaking the infrastructure works to improve the Electric Network infrastructure in the Northstowe area. The Electric works have commenced along the Cambridge Guided Busway.
If you use the path alongside the guideway running to Northstowe this is likely to be of interest!
Meeting starts 7.30pm on Monday 20th January at the Recreation Ground Centre

We have received the following update from the A14 Integrated Delivery Team:
As part of our work to upgrade the A14, we are widening the bridge over the guided busway near Histon. To progress this work safely, the busway route and cycle path under the bridge have been closed for the past week and a half to prepare for this by installing sheet piling. The widening work is planned to happen later this month and throughout the summer school holidays with a subsequent closure during August.
We were planning, to complete this phase of work by the end of the week and reopen the busway and cycle path but we have met an unexpected obstruction in the ground which means that the sheet piling is taking longer than anticipated to complete.
As a result, the current phase of work needs to be extended for another two weeks and we will not be able to reopen the busway and cycle path next week as anticipated. Instead, we will now continue with this essential work as quickly as we safely can and hope to reopen the busway and cycle path by 30 August, which is earlier than originally planned for this phase.
The bus route going into Cambridge (southbound) between Histon and Orchard Park East is diverted during the closure. People travelling into Cambridge from Histon can board diverted services from the stop on Cambridge Road. More information is available on the Stagecoach and Whippet websites
Cambridgeshire County Council has a clearly signed diversion route for people using the guided busway cycle path during the bridge work, which takes people via Cambridge Road (Impington), B1049/A14 roundabout, Histon Road, Kings Hedges Road and back on the Orchard Park busway path.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us
We have received the following from the County Council:
Further works need to be carried out to repair defects between Histon and Orchard Park on the Guided Busway. The nature of the works will require a full closure of The Busway between these points from midnight on Friday 30th September until 05.00 on Monday 3rd October. The Histon stop towards Cambridge will be closed on these dates and times and closure signs will be placed at this stop. The alternative stop will be on Cambridge Road (outside Anglia Fireplaces). The maintenance track will also be closed and diversion signs will be in operation. .
Diversions
The B service will run down Cambridge road, into Histon road and pick up at the bus stop after King Hedges Road. The same in reverse but using the normal Histon northbound Busway stop.
The A service will run down Cambridge road into Histon road and then back onto the Busway in Kings Hedges Road where it will pick up at Orchard park west and east, then CRC and the Science park. The same in reverse. All Orchard Park stops will have notices placed on them informing passengers of the diversions. As the buses will be going in the opposite direction to normal for this service the stops are in effect reversed (southbound becomes northbound and vice versa). Posters will inform passengers which stop they require to be at depending on which direction they wish to go.
The C service will follow same route as the A above.
