Bracknell

A new Bracknell footpath and cycle track with additional crossings will be built along the Bagshot Road to link Bracknell town centre to the new Staff College development.

The work will create improved facilities between the station and Horse and Groom roundabouts to improve the link from Staff College and Ranelagh School to the rail and bus stations and the town centre.

Work is scheduled to begin at the end of July - once Broad Lane is re-opened and during the school summer holidays. Due to the extent of the works, lane closures will be necessary along this part of the Bagshot Road, but to minimise disruption the bus lanes will be suspended. The works are expected to last 12 weeks.

Cllr Mrs Mary Ballin, Executive Member for Bracknell Planning and Transportation, said: "The new foot and cycle path will be a major benefit for the people who live to the south of the town centre and wish to walk or cycle.

"While there will be some lane closures on Bagshot Road, the impact of the works will be kept to an absolute minimum."
