The (unchanged, as far as I can see) grid that has recently been accused of allowing cattle onto the Chishom Trail

Unsurprising consequence of ill-thought attempt to deal with sub-optimal junction design. Still no visibility aids (reflectors) either, on what's left of the fence.

Unused arch under Mill Road bridge - potential route of the Chisholm Trail?

A low wooden barrier, almost invisible in darkness, has been added to the down ramp from the Abbey-Chesterton bridge. This appears to be intended to prevent wheeled users from bypassing the chicane by cycling over the mud.

Chisholm Trail - two days after the snow fall. There's an icy crust covering most of the path with a thin track clear for cycling.

Entrance to Chisholm Trail from Newmarket Road. Q: What signage is there here to suggest this route is prohibited for motor vehicles? A: All I can see here are a shared-use cycleway sign behind the fencing on the left.

An event to mark the end of the Our Place In Space art installation.

Clara Rackham Street's connection to Cromwell Road should be OK for Chisholm Trail phase 2 if the proposed connection further south gets silly chicanes etc.

Expected to be part of Chisholm Trail phase 2

Doesn't seem to be much chance there of a connection between Chisholm Trail and Sedgwick Street

Expected to be part of Chisholm Trail phase 2 The Trail turns left towards Cavendish Place beyond the Heras fence

Expected to be part of Chisholm Trail phase 2 The Trail turns right in front of the houses here

The only sign of a possible alternative connection between Chisholm Trail and Sedgwick Street - beyond the fence at the end

Tiny kerb between 'road' and 'path' is very difficult to spot, and very bad for oblique approach.

Expected to be part of Chisholm Trail phase 2

Expected to be part of Chisholm Trail phase 2 Wonder what will appear instead of this, to prevent vehicle through-route?

Expected to be part of Chisholm Trail phase 2

Expected to be part of Chisholm Trail phase 2. Turn right here from shared-use path.

Southern access on Cavendish Place to the Timberworks development off Cromwell Road. It might turn out to be the southern end of Chisholm Trail Phase 2 for quite a while - but it's still part of the construction site at the moment.

Extra strengthening bars have been welded to the cattle grids on the Chisholm Trail.

Cosmetic panels added to bridge ramp.

Art work in the Chisholm Trail/Newmarket Road underpass

Not yet finished... the Chisholm Trail bridge over the Cam

Predictable result of the chicane: almost all riders now cut the corner

Water flowing across the cycleway after heavy rain.

Decorative panels being added to the subway.

The new mural in the Newmarket Road underpass on the Chisholm Trail

Reflective tape has been added, but with unhelpful red/white orientation for travel in this direction.

Some reflective tape has been added - with appropriate red-white orientation from this side but as for two lanes in the same direction.

Junction left to the Abbey-Chesterton Bridge (Chisholm Trail) and right to the riverside route (NCN route 51)

A shame not to have a double cattle grid here on the Chisholm Trail.

Junction of the old route to the Newmarket Road crossing and (to the left) the new Chisholm Trail to the Newmarket Road underpass.

Good practice - double cattle grids, not found everywhere on the Chisholm Trail.

Nice wide bridge on the Chisholm Trail

Link to Newmarket Road and the Chisholm Trail underpass

The Chisholm Trail approaching Newmarket Road

Dreadfully restrictive junction arrangement on the link between the Chisholm Trail and NCN route 51 - many people will be cutting across the grass to the right rather than turning so sharply on the asphalt.

Wiggley stretch of Chisholm Trail towards the Abbey-Chesterton Bridge

View for users of the footbridge when they reach the Chisholm Trail. They might sport the Heras fencing (while it remains in place) but it's not at all obvious from here that there's a paved alternative via the old Mildenhall rail … [more]

This is what greets users of the footbridge from Stourbridge Common when they reach the Chisholm Trail. No signage (yet) to direct them on their eastbound route.

These triangular panels do not fit correctly and are each only held in place by two bolts, whereas there are holes for four. I asked a pair of men in hi-viz about this and one of them said his team had added the cable ties in the other … [more]

The Chisholm Trail enabler.

When will local authorities learn? The outcry when barriers were installed at Addenbrooke's Hospital had them removed within a week. Do they think barriers on the Chisholm Trail - a major active travel project - will go unnoticed? Be … [more]

Cafe area of south compound beginning to be tidied up, fence posts waiting to go up.

Another stretch of fence now done - alongside Newmarket Road

Tarmac looks finished - but then partially covered for machinery to cross - south of the underpass.

Yellow nosings on south steps reinstated, and looking complete.

Chicanes on the northern bike approach to the Abbey-Chesterton Bridge.

Pedestrian gate, and part of the fence around the cattlegrid, now installed. Several bits still to do.

Progress on the wooden fence on the south ramp - but it's not finished.

Progress on the Trail south of the Newmarket Rd underpass

Beginning to add the wooden fences to either side of the south bridge ramp

Junction from Trail towards railway footbridge

The attractive S-bend in the Trail south of the footbridge path

The section of the Trail that now forms the dogleg in the path to the footbridge

The repositioned point where the informal east-west path crosses the Trail to head towards the railway footbridge. The route towards the narrow bridge over the brook, leading to the railway bridge, can just be seen at right of shot.

The junction at the foot of the south ramp to the Chisholm Trail river bridge
