Bus lane to avoid A14 congestion

A new bus and cycle lane to help speed up journeys in Cambridge has opened.

Milton Road opened on Saturday as work to build a new junction to help guided buses join Milton Road was completed.

Improvements have also been made to the safety barriers that run opposite the junction where guided buses will join Milton Road.

The busway, said to be the world's longest track, will run customers between the new St Ives park and ride and Cambridge in 20 minutes.

Bob Menzies, head of delivery for the busway at Cambridgeshire County Council, said: "The new bus lane we have built will speed up journeys for all buses and will make it easier for guided buses to quickly join the busway.

"When buses join the busway at the new Milton Road junction they will be able to get to St Ives in just 20 minutes."
