TfL has started construction work on a new 4.7-kilometre upgraded cycle route in southwest London.
The route is the next stage of TfL’s trial upgrades along the existing Cycle Superhighway 8 (CS8) route and will connect to a section delivered last year between Chelsea Bridge and Lambeth Bridge in central London. These changes are being delivered as part of TfL’s emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Work between Queen’s Circus and Wandsworth Town Centre will start today, 22nd February, and will include:
– Widening of cycle lanes on Battersea Park Road and light segregation in some sections to improve safety for people cycling, as well as extending advanced stop lines at junctions. Battersea Park Road will also be a 20mph zone to improve general traffic safety
