Woolwich Manor Way - Improved footpaths and cycle tracks

Construction will start on Monday 2 November, and is expected to be completed before summer 2027. The works area is on Woolwich Manor Way between Tollgate Road and Alpine Way. These works will not involve any changes to the carriageway, so motor vehicle traffic will be unaffected by these works.

Once completed, improvements will include:

  • a segregated, off-carriageway cycle track
  • improved pedestrian footway through and alongside the green space alongside Woolwich Manor Way

The scheme intends to provide a safer and attractive cycling connection, reduce conflict between different road users and improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, while contributing to the Council's wider active travel, road safety and environmental objectives. This will form part of Cycle Future Route 9, a key north-south strategic route.

Previous engagement in November 2025 helped shape the current design. The original proposal routed cyclists along Hallywell Crescent, but following feedback from local residents the route was revised to run alongside Woolwich Manor Way. The subsequent engagement on the revised design received no objections, and there are no property frontages directly onto the works in the revised design.
