The work to upgrade Cambridge Road from the A428 roundabout towards St Neots has now been completed providing a new gateway to the town, as well as better walking, cycling and bus connections for existing and new residents at Wintringham, Love’s Farm and the next phase of Love’s Farm, known as Monksfields.

The upgrades include a roundabout at the Pelham Road junction (to replace the existing T-junction), three new junctions to serve the future Monksfields development, new cycle paths, bus stops/shelters and pedestrian crossing points. The new design provides a safer route for all users, and has enabled a 30mph speed limit to be introduced along the road.
Rebecca Britton, Regional Director at Urban&Civic, said: “This has been a major programme of works to provide the utilities and infrastructure needed for future phases of Wintringham and the Monksfields development. The works also provide greater opportunities for active travel with cycling and walking for existing and new residents, as well as more access to bus stops and services.”
“We know that the scale of the works has caused disruption locally, and we again apologise for that, but pulling everything together into one programme across the two developments has meant we have been able to keep the road open for all but the last week when the final connections were made, and it should mean that we do not have to do such major works again. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and hope the upgrades have improved the experience of all users along this stretch of Cambridge Road.”
