The majority of the new route will be fully segregated from both traffic and pedestrians. A short section will be shared with pedestrians.
Some trees may be removed (between the Ring Road and Newbury Road and between Johnstone Street and Hatfield Road) to allow for the new route. These will be replaced in the local area.
The information below is intended to give information about how the route may look. At this stage, the information is indicative and will be subject to consultation and detailed design work.
