Cambridgeshire County Council has issued a statement in response to East West Rail announcing updated design proposals.
Cllr Alex Beckett, chair of Highways and Transport Committee at Cambridgeshire County Council, said:
“I’m pleased to see East West Rail are listening to public feedback and as a result, have announced new design proposals for Cambridgeshire.
“A new Cambridge East station and an eastern entrance are two key changes being considered, if approved, these will help reduce the congestion in the city centre and improve accessibility. It’s good to see the new proposals for a full mined tunnel at the A428 Bourn Airfield crossing and introduce a new road around Harston.
“The county council, as a key stakeholder, fed back during the consultation and we’ll be reviewing the latest designs to ensure they deliver benefits for the people of Cambridgeshire.”
