Delivered as part of the Cross City Cycling package, the Fulbourn/Cherry Hinton eastern access project sought to improve links to schools, homes and workplaces in east Cambridge.

The project delivered:

• New floating bus stops and cycle lanes at the Robin Hood junction
• A widened shared use path on the north side of Fulbourn Road, east of the Leete Road crossing
• Mature hedges planted to fill gaps on the south side of Fulbourn Road between the Leete Road crossing and Queen Edith’s Way
• New trees and sections of mature hedges planted in liason with Cambridge City Council landscape architects

In 2016 following consultation with the public, the executive board agreed a package of five projects.

The Cross City Cycling package, which sought to make it safer and easier for people to travel by bike, consisted of five schemes:

• Arbury Road
• Cambridge North railway station and science park
• Ditton Lane and links to east Cambridge
• Hills Road and Cambridge Biomedical Campus
• Fulbourn and Cherry Hinton eastern access

All schemes were completed by 2021.
