A sustainable transport scheme providing cycle and pedestrian routes to Milton Park, Harwell Campus and Culham Science Centre, increasing connectivity between Science Vale, residential areas, and the newly improved Didcot station by bike.
By improving routes for cyclists and pedestrians, the project makes cycling a more attractive choice. It adds a key layer to the Science Vale transport network to encourage sustainable travel across the area for cyclists and pedestrians, who are benefitting from improved facilities for many journeys, not just those to or from work.
