Towpath closes for Chisholm Trail works

A series of closures to allow work to upgrade the towpath by the new Abbey-Chesterton Bridge start today (Monday, July 26).

The closures are needed for work to upgrade the northern towpath as part of the Chisholm Trail.

While the work is under way signs diverting cyclists and pedestrians along Fen Road will be in place.

The towpath will be closed for four weeks between Monday, July 26 and Friday, August 20. It is then planned to close for two weeks between Monday, August 30 and Friday, September 10.

The timings of the towpath closures have been agreed with the Cam Conservators, which is
the navigation authority for the
River Cam.

The Chisholm Trail is a walking and cycling route, creating a mostly off-road and traffic-free route between Cambridge station and the new Cambridge North station. It will link to Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus in the south and to the business and science parks in the north.
