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.
Works on the section between Orchard Park and Cambridge North station will be carried out between February and June 2026.
The installation of separation fencing has been completed between Long Road bridge and the Addenbrooke’s spur. Works on phase 2 between Trumpington Park & Ride and Hobson’s Avenue started on Monday 17 November 2025.
