Programme of work
Installation of separation fencing
Separation fencing was installed along a section of the busway near Cambridge Rail Station in 2024. This fencing is 1.5m high and includes emergency access gates at regular intervals.
Phase 1 of the installation of separation fencing from Long Road Bridge south to the Addenbrookes spur will be completed by Sunday 16 November 2025 and the track will return to two-way running.
Phase 2 will commence on Monday 17 November 2025 between Trumpington Park & Ride and Addenbrookes spur. A full closure of the busway and maintenance track will be in place. Buses will be diverted onto the road and a pedestrian/cycle diversion will be in place.
Please note phase 2 diversion information:
- Route A – St Ives buses - From Trumpington, Route A buses will leave the park and ride site and join Addenbrookes Road. They will serve Hobson Avenue for Foster Road. From here they will join Francis Crick Avenue and then onto Robinson Way serving a temporary stop. Buses will rejoin at Royal Papworth – Green and Gardens. Please note only one stop on Green and Gardens will be served, for buses towards the Rail Station and St Ives only.
