Phase 1 looks at road safety, walking, cycling and bus priority measures along the A1307 between Haverhill and Cambridge.

A continuous shared-use path for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders from Cambridge to Linton is under construction and will form part of the Linton Greenway: you can find out more about greenways on the project page.

Implementation of road safety, junction, walking, cycling and horse riding improvements along the A1307 is underway and schemes are scheduled to be completed over the next year.

Scheme 3 has been divided into 5 sections. Sections 1 and 2 are already complete, and section 5 is in progress.

• Section 4 has been spilt into two phases of work, with phase 1 early works between Newmarket Road and Granta Park completed in autumn 2024.
• Section 5 of the greenway is also in progress, with sections of the active travel path between Hildersham and Linton already widened.
• Section 3 involves further design work on the bridge crossing the A11 and is due to start construction in 2025.
• The route would then continue on-road through the Abingtons to the Hildersham crossroads.

More information on the Linton Greenway

• The previous crossroads will be changed to a staggered junction.
• The 50 mph speed limit will been extended.
• Right turn lanes will no longer be permitted from either the Haverhill Road or the Farm Shop.
• An additional right-turn lane will be created for the Farm Shop, traffic will not permitted to turn right at the entrance.

• Adding access ramps to the existing stepped footbridge over the A11 would allow use by cyclists and mobility-impaired users.
• Approach routes would be upgraded to bridleway status, resurfaced and stud lighting provided.
• Horse riders would be directed south to the existing underpass alongside the River Granta. This route is in the flood plain, but modelling indicates it is unaffected most of the year.
• The existing bridge is too narrow for use by horses and cannot be widened.

This scheme is closely connected with the Phase 2 proposals for a new public transport route and travel hub. It will be built as part of the Phase 2 proposals which has now been postponed.
