Improvements to Norwich cycle network

The Norwich cycle network is made up of seven colour-coded routes, which cross the city in all directions and converge at St Andrews Plain in the city centre.

Since 2013, Norwich has been awarded two significant Cycle City Ambition grants from the Department for Transport which combined with additional contributions from local partners, generated a total network investment of £14.1m.

The first wave of funding saw improvements to the eight mile pink pedalway and the connections leading to it, creating a higher quality cycle link from the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and UEA, through the city centre, to Heartsease and Broadland.

Further improvement works followed on the yellow pedalway between Norwich International Airport and Lakenham and the blue pedalway from Sprowston to Wymondham.

Many more schemes have since been delivered are or in the process of being developed through the Transforming Cities Fund and all improvements to the cycle network also benefit pedestrians with a focus on improving safety for all road users.
