Twelve corridors
Route by route
Each corridor with the map as it was drawn in 2016, what the review asked for, what happened over the decade, and where it stands now. The coloured strip on each card shows every proposal for that route and what became of it. Where local cyclists have reported designs that fall short of the government's cycle infrastructure standard, LTN 1/20, the route page says so.
Waterbeach Greenway
In design or planningThe review's Option 3 won, the towpath and railway options lost, and after ten years only the Cambridge end is open.
Horningsea Greenway
Built and openThe only one of the twelve finished — and the one whose two ambitious links were both abandoned.
Swaffham Greenway
In design or planningRenamed in the singular in February 2026 — because Swaffham Prior fell out of the scheme.
Bottisham Greenway
In design or planningAbsorbed the shared Cambridge-end section from the Swaffhams and gained Riverside, but lost its Wilbraham link, and the Ditton Lane underpass proposed since 2016 was rejected.
Fulbourn Greenway
In design or planningThe urban improvements survive and the Tins Path railway bridge is still in the scheme, but unbuilt; the longer-term paths along the rail corridor are not.
Linton Greenway
Under constructionThe most delivered of the rural greenways — and the one where both major structures were quietly replaced or shelved.
Sawston Greenway
Approved, construction dueApproved in July 2026 — with the disused railway corridor, the whole reason for re-aligning it, paused on cost.
Melbourn Greenway
Under constructionBuilding at last, after the A505 bridge — the thing that would have finished the route — fell out of the scheme.
Haslingfield Greenway
In design or planningCompletely re-routed. The 2016 alignment, its Cam bridge and its Trumpington works are all gone.
Barton Greenway
Still arguingThe village works and the central section of the A603 path are done, and done well. The two ends of the path are not, and the Baulk Path, carved out for a separate decision in July 2025, still hasn't had one.
Comberton Greenway
Under constructionCoton village and Adams Road are done, but the review asked for one wall to be removed on Adams Road and the programme spent £2.4m there. The biggest new off-road route left in the programme, beyond Coton, is still at planning stage.
St Ives Greenway
In design or planningThe 'jewel in the network' got two short new links and a roadside improvement, and lost its flood fix, its bridges and its highest-priority link.
