Clevdon to Weston cycle path approved

Clevedon to Weston cycle path - coming soon!

 After more than 30 years of trying funding is now in place to build a cycleway between Clevedon and Weston after Highways England confirmed they would give North Somerset Council £1.2m towards the cost in early 2020. This has been topped up by North Somerset Council. 

The path will follow an existing farm track built on the former Weston, Clevedon and Portishead railway line which closed in 1940. The project will include highway works in Kewstoke and Clevedon, signage and road markings along the whole of the Weston to Clevedon cycle route, as well as a replica of the old Wick St Lawrence Station Halt at the entrance to the cycleway off Wick Road that will be built in conjunction with the Weston, Clevedon, and Portishead Railway Group.

Work during the summer of 2020 revealed that the cost of building a bridge on the route at Tutshill Sluice was almost double the amount originally anticipated. North Somerset Council have pledged to meet the additional cost to ensure this landmark project goes ahead.
