Diversions
When Newmarket Road is closed to traffic, the following diversions, shown on the map below, will be in place: -
For Motor Traffic: - Signed diversion routes will be in place for motor traffic while the road is closed.
For Bus Users: - Buses that currently use Newmarket Road will be diverted. The bus stops on Newmarket Road between Coldhams Lane Junction and the McDonalds roundabout will be temporarily suspended with no service. Bus operators will advise of changes to their services nearer the time. For details on Stagecoach bus services please visit www.stagecoachbus.com or follow the operator on Twitter @stagecoach_east.
For Cyclists and Pedestrians: - There will be a separate, signed diversion route for cyclists and pedestrians across Coldhams Common. For pedestrians who are unable to use the diversion route there will be a free of charge shuttle service available from one side of the closure to the other. Arrangements are currently being finalised to ensure this service is COVID-safe and details will be available in due course at www.greatercambridgepartnership.org.uk/chisholm[[{"fid":"291495","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Chisholm Trail _ Newmarket Rd diversions","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Chisholm Trail _ Newmarket Rd diversions"},"link_text":false,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"default","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Chisholm Trail _ Newmarket Rd diversions","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Chisholm Trail _ Newmarket Rd diversions"}},"attributes":{"alt":"Chisholm Trail _ Newmarket Rd diversions","title":"Chisholm Trail _ Newmarket Rd diversions","class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"1"}}]]
