Companies are being told to get ready to tender for a major £150 million scheme to build a busway between Cambridge and Cambourne.

The route would mostly be a single carriageway road with no access for private cars. It will run on existing roads at some locations, with traffic signals ensuring safety at junctions with roads.

An emergency access and maintenance track would run alongside the route, and it would also provide a path for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. The path would connect with new and existing routes, such as the planned Comberton Greenway, to complement the growing rural walking and cycling network.

The publication date of tender notice is estimated to be 11 May 2026 and details can be found here.
