As part of the Mayor of London’s Streetspace programme, the move hopes to cut congestion and pollution by encouraging people to cycle.
2.4km of the new temporary cycle track on Chiswick High
Road is the first major section of the Cycleway 9 route to open.
The new route links to
other changes to create one of the longest Cycleways to have opened
under the Streetspace programme so far.
TfL will continue to
work with Hammersmith & Fulham and Hounslow Councils on plans to create the
route in full.
