| 172729 |  | They've changed the eastern junction of towpath and diversion. The surface of the new section is loose soft sand: even worse than the coarse stones. They have at least made a start on removing the top surface of the towpath. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172728 |  | There are yellow RIVER FOOTPATH notices in several sensible locations | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172727 |  | It looks as if someone else was fed up with the lack of signage for the towpath diversion. The yellow notice on the left says PRIVATE PROPERTY STRICTLY NO ENTRY The one on the right says RIVER FOOTPATH | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172685 |  | A new hole in the north footway, revealing substantial electricity cables which I think were not present before. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172683 |  | More digging on the recently reinstated south footway. Both ends of the gas main diversion are now visible, which suggests that this trench could be for gas pipe. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172682 |  | Latest 'improvement' to the signage. Somewhat pointless, since the red&white barrier is visible well before the yellow notice. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172613 |  | Footway dug up again, short section of old iron gaspipe removed, other utility ductwork not fairing well. Makes a depressing tale of retrograde progress when seen against www.cyclestreets.net/location/170640,171537,172406/ | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172612 |  | The narrow stone-covered membrane appears to cover a rainwater drainpipe. There's plenty of room outside it for a good wide path from bridge to towpath. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172611 |  | At least this is unambiguous - even if quite tricky to negotiate and not very visible in the dark. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172610 |  | The only (?) info about the diversion anywhere 'on' Fen road - and I doubt if it is visible from the road. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172608 |  | First 'information' about the closure found when heading east. Absolutely nothing to indicate that there's a bypass. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172604 |  | Effective barrier on towpath means no option during the closure to take the shortcut 'after hours' | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172603 |  | Towpath closed, diversion open, for work on the link from Chisholm Trail riverbridge to all points west. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172452 |  | The area around the new cattlegrid north of the railway underpass is surfaced - but fence and gate not yet added. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172451 |  | Realigned path north of the railway underpass is surfaced and open. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172450 |  | I don't see much recent change on the north bridge ramp. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172449 |  | The rightangle turn between fences looks rather tight. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172448 |  | The northern end of the diversion around the compound doesn't look great. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172447 |  | Could this be the beginning of work to realign the brook through the south compound? I couldn't see enough to judge. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172446 |  | Towpath diversion around the north compound for Chisholm Trail work looks OK at the river end. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172410 |  | New cattlegrid finished, old grid and gate removed. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172409 |  | Progress on the realigned junction north of the railway underpass | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172408 |  | Work hasn't started on the brook crossing. Diversion still in use. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172407 |  | Long stretch of newly-widened path for Chisholm Trail open. Surface is good. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172406 |  | New water main buried (but not yet connected), footway part-reinstated. Some other ducts not in great shape. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172077 |  | Still no change at the aborted cattlegrid south of the railway underpass | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172076 |  | There will be a new cattlegrid north of the railway underpass. It's not alongside the old one. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172075 |  | The widened path for the Chisholm Trail now has the finished surface for much of the section between the railway underpass and the brook crossing. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172074 |  | Topsoil reinstated for Barnwell Meadow, and a reasonably clear space for further work on the Chisholm Trail approach to the underpass - but still a Newmarket Road lamp post to be reinstated. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 172073 |  | One sidewall of the north steps to the Chisholm Trail river bridge has been cast. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171541 |  | Improved alignment of path junction north of the railway underpass | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171540 |  | Widened path levelled and nearly ready for tarmac | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171539 |  | Old surface of path on Coldham's Common planed off, material distributed to new width. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171538 |  | The approach from the cafe site to the new bridge looks to be mostly finished | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171537 |  | Backfill over the underpass dug up again for reinstatement of the water main. Pipe in situ but not yet connected. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171536 |  | Beginning to reinstate Barnwell Meadow soil north of the Chisholm Trail underpass | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171390 |  | A good gentle slope brings the cycle lane up to footway level at the bus stop - but without zebra stripes | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171389 |  | New motor-traffic sign. The aircraft symbol that could be mistaken for a direction arrow isn't new, but is at least a bit less confusing this time. Interesting that eastbound traffic on Cherry Hinton Road is encouraged to turn south onto Queen Edith's Way for the city centre. (Better than via the High Street, but confusing.) I haven't spotted blue signs for cyclists. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171388 |  | The "advisory redundant sign lane" | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171365 |  | Looks like a bit of the transition from compound back to meadow is under way | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171364 |  | Shuttering for the wall at the side of the north stairs | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171363 |  | Could be for the ramp from bridge to towpath, but it doesn't look very wide. Subsequently thought just to be cover on rainwater drainpipe next to the ramp. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171361 |  | Precast north-side step sections in situ, but 'landing' slab in the middle still to be cast | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171360 |  | Space - presumably for another cattle grid - is still fenced off at the end of the otherwise-finished path on the south common | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171359 |  | Topsoil belatedly reinstated beside the new path on the south common. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171358 |  | Progress on stairs and ramp in the north compound | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171171 |  | Progress on the south bridge ramp, and south compound looking a bit tidier | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171170 |  | North bank beside the Newmarket Road underpass now has its topsoil | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171169 |  | Bridge between common and cafe site looks finished | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 171168 |  | Progress on widening Coldham's Common path for the Chisholm Trail | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170848 |  | It's unfortunate that you can't see here that there IS a way to carry on northwards | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170845 |  | Quite a sharp corner in the dogleg here | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170839 |  | It's not immediately obvious why the diversion needs a dogleg here: perhaps just to make space inside the work compound? | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170837 |  | Path closed, diversion open. New transition onto the temporary bridge is better than the original (in cyclestreets #170554) | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170828 |  | Diversion open, path closed for widening and bridge work. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170642 |  | Topsoil reinstated beside much of widened Chisholm Trail | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170641 |  | Work in progress on bridge for Chisholm Trail between common and cafe | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170640 |  | Backfill and kerbstones nearly finished, except for work on water main | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170639 |  | Backfill & kerbstones nearly finished | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170638 |  | Backfill & kerbstones well advanced | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170637 |  | Backfill, kerbstones, etc well advanced after remaining utilities (inc broadband fibre) reinstated. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170605 |  | Sensor above the lights might be for the right turn phase? There isn't an equivalent facing the other way for the Cherry Hinton Road -> Queen Edith's Way turn. Difficult to know why it's so high - unless instead it's actually looking for buses at the stops blocking both lanes on Fulbourn Road? | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170604 |  | Good to see that in the carriageway utility covers that have been dangerously (and noisily) uneven for years are now level - but here that wasn't possible. Instead, sloping the kerbs to meet the cover has created an inpromptu 'dropped kerb' transition between footway and cycleway. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170603 |  | Redmac for the short cycle lane now finished | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170602 |  | Bike sensor (I think) above the lights | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170601 |  | Another case where it's too easy to be confused by the wrong lights when making the second-stage crossing | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170600 |  | I haven't noticed elsewhere this bollard treatment for cycle lane behind bus stop | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 170599 |  | Redmac for the cycle lane past the bus stop is now finished | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways | |
| 170598 |  | I think that's a sensor for the advance bike green at the top of the lights. Seems to give about 7 seconds head start before the vehicle green, but only when a bike is sensed. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170555 |  | Plastic tiles again on the left for the foot/cylepath diversion, robust temporary roadway on the right for machinery. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170554 |  | Contractors' bridge on the left, pedestrians & cycles on the right. Yellow plastic fillet for the latter isn't going to be great for pedestrians or cycles. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170553 |  | Temporary pedestrian/cycle bridge is a reasonable if not generous width | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170552 |  | Temporary pedestrian/cycle bridge for use while the original is rebuilt or refreshed | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170551 |  | Temporary bridge for construction traffic to access the middle section of Coldham's Common | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170549 |  | New bridge over the brook between Coldham's Common and the Cafe site - not quite completed | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170540 |  | The first of the new redmac cycle sections is done, but the transition to the carriageway is a bit odd. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170539 |  | Low-level, small, repeaters for bikes at each set of lights. They switch to green slightly before the main lights. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170538 |  | Carriageway is finished bar some utility covers not yet reinstated, but footways and the little bits of cycleway are mostly still to do. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170537 |  | There are too many places where you can see the lights for another crossing as well as the ones you need to see. I think it could lead to some incidents. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170536 |  | Although the temporary crossing lights are still in situ, it's the new ones integrated with the traffic control lights that are now operational. There are no easily-visible repeaters on the central islands, so you have to look to the side rather than being aware of anyone waiting to cross in the opposite direction. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170209 |  | First sight eastbound of what's around the corner | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170208 |  | Good progress on backfill and reinstatement above south end of underpass | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170207 |  | 'Making it up as they go along'? Looks as if they may have decided against adding a second cattlegrid | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170206 |  | Tarmac looks almost finished, broken swing gate has been replaced, other swing gate has been hooked open again. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170205 |  | Still some work to do between resurfaced path and existing cattlegrids. Not very walk- or cyle-friendly at the moment, and not obvious how they can finish without fencing off the route via the grids. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170204 |  | Improved path for Chisholm Trail making progress, but still plenty of 'making good' to do. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170054 |  | Still a bit to do before it will be ready for tarmac | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170053 |  | Path widened but edge boards not yet all fitted at this end | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170052 |  | Widened path on Coldham's Common south nearly ready to be 'prepped for tarmac' according to timetable board at the other end. Both of these gates open in the same direction: not immediately obvious why two were needed. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170051 |  | Scaffolding gone, backfilling started, still work to do on utilities. Impossible to tell whether the water main was reinstated below this lot, but the pipe meant to reinstate the gas main has clearly not been used. Wonder if this all has to be dug up again later? | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170050 |  | Scaffolding supports gone, backfilling started, but still some work to do for proper reinstatement of utilities. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170049 |  | Culvert for Chisholm Trail bridge south ramp to cross realigned brook | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170025 |  | The usual forest of posts to negotiate on the central island, plus an interesting traffic light repeater | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170024 |  | Not convinced that this is the most useful bit of signage | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170023 |  | Pedestrians-only footway is seriously narrow on this corner - in stark contrast to the one diagonally opposite | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170022 |  | I think this is where southbound cyclists leave can leave the carriageway to join shared-use path, just as it becomes too narrow. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170021 |  | Shared-use transition to segregated ? | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170020 |  | Space gained from Robin Hood frontage | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170019 |  | Space finally gained from Robin Hood - but their 'gateposts' haven't been moved back. | Other: Infrastructure general | |
| 170018 |  | Eastbound pedestrian crossing | Other: Infrastructure general |
