Overview

In December 2020, as an emergency response to the coronavirus, we made changes to roads between Greenwich and Woolwich to make it easier for people to cycle, walk and use the bus. The A206 corridor has been identified as a potential strategic cycle route. Investing in high-quality cycle facilities and improving pedestrian facilities will encourage active travel, helping to make Greenwich greener and healthier.

Overview

In December 2020, as an emergency response to the coronavirus, we made changes to roads between Greenwich and Woolwich to make it easier for people to cycle, walk and use the bus. The A206 corridor has been identified as a potential strategic cycle route. Investing in high-quality cycle facilities and improving pedestrian facilities will encourage active travel, helping to make Greenwich greener and healthier.

In March 2022, a decision was made by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to make a series of improvements to the scheme, and to retain it with a new experiment.

We have now launched a six-month consultation on the revised experimental scheme. We want to know about your experiences of the scheme. You can reply by following the link to the survey below.

    The plans for phase 1 included a proposal to close the northbound slip road from Angerstein roundabout towards Blackwall Tunnel. This is a shortcut used by motorists to avoid queuing traffic on the A102. Why was that work not done?

    Thank you for your message,

    We took the decision not to close the A102 slip road as part of the trial cycleway, as it’s felt we could achieve the desired safety benefits by providing a dedicated cycle and pedestrian crossing through the centre of the roundabout, without needing to close the slip road at this time. The cycleway is now being closely monitored to better understand its impacts and benefits.

    Plans for a more transformational scheme at Angerstein roundabout were put on hold at the start of the pandemic. Initial proposals for this larger scheme included removing the roundabout operation and closing the slip road to reduce traffic volumes and improve air quality. These plans were presented as part of a wider public consultation on the permanent cycleway scheme at the start of 2020 prior to the pandemic.

    This wider scheme is still in an early design stage, and the monitoring outcomes of the trial cycleway will help inform further development. In addition, a more transformational scheme will be subject to our future long-term funding position.
