Work to construct a new cycleway in Weston-super-Mare and costing £470,000 started at the end of October, by Pavenet (contracted by MILESTONE Infrastructure).
The Uphill Road North cycleway will form a key part of the Brean to Bristol route for pedestrians and cyclists.
It will also provide an off-road link between the town centre and the five-mile traffic-free route from Uphill to Brean.
Funded by the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership, it will see the current footpath running along the west side of Uphill Road North widened by two metres into land North Somerset Council has bought from Weston Golf Club. There will also be new drainage gullies, fence line, tree planting and lining works which will take around 11 weeks to finish, weather permitting.
This was another contract that Pavenet had secured in Somerset, and carried out within the timeframes set out by the Somerset council and completed on time.
