Cyclist bravely ignoring the Footway Closed Ahead sign, which does refer to cycling as well - there's quite a detour to the left due to works on the Fen Causeway crossing.
The on-road cycle lane has already been suspended - now cyclists on the shared-use path have to dismount as well.
Cycle Lane Closed - cyclists are presumably meant to cross the road and wait at the temporary lights to get through the roadworks. Not very helpful.
Two new pedestrian/cycleways under construction - and a barrier moved to allow passage over the bank holiday weekend rather than having to cross the main road twice.
Temporary lights - totally unnecessary, except I think that they allow a pedestrian phase around the roadworks. By the time the light changed there were 15 to 20 bikes (and 1 trike) waiting.
Construction of a wider cycleway/greenway - at the moment all cyclists and pedestrians have to cross the main road twice to get past.
Alternating traffic flows through roadworks - very long phases, and no real provision for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road - just wait till the cars stop and rush across. But it looks as if there'll be a better cycleway when it's … [more]
Notification from the county council for the roadworks on Barton Road, Newnham, where space has been taken from the road to provide more space for cyclists and pedestrians, as well as a new crossing (presumably part of the Greenways … [more]
Cyclists Dismount sign at the start of roadworks on Barton Road, Newnham - this section of Grantchester Street has been closed to allow the use of two-way rather than three-way temporary lights, and as a storage compound .

It's all happening here - after these City Fibre works, Cambridge Water is going to close Grantchester St (and Bateman St too) for a couple of days.
Following the attempt to use temporary lights (#189852 and #189853) they've given up - not ideal for the walk to school.
Local traffic chaos due to parked cars blocking cars trying to pass queuing cars. Also no lights on Chedworth St, one light for both Grantchester St and Eltisley Avenue.

It looks as if the absolutely appalling stretch of broken road surface at the Station Road junction is getting some overnight attention.
Water utility works at the north end of Grange Road - naturally cyclists can get past (although the puddles don't help).
Water utility works at the north end of Grange Road - urgent enough to close the road, not urgent enough to work on a Sunday. A shame the barriers were left blocking the cycle lanes, but of course cyclists were passing on the footways.
Road works by Cambridge Water at the Station Road/Hills Road junction - luckily many people are working from home. It would be nice to think that the dreadful potholes will be properly fixed, but I'm not optimistic.
Signs warning pedestrians to divert because of road works around the corner at this busy roundabout near Addenbrooke's Hospital.
The contraflow cycle lane has been kept open through the roadworks - the awful speed humps on Bateman Street are finally being replaced.
The three collapsing speed humps at the eastern end of Bateman Street have been removed - with luck, something better might appear soon.
Temporary path during building work - there's a dropped kerb to the left, but cyclists are better off on the next path to the south.
If you're cycling on the shared-use footway, there's a temporary ramp and diversion. If you're using the on-road cycle lane, you're a bit stuffed.
Pothole inspection on Grange Road - how long will it be before the hole gets fixed? And why can't this be done by a small electric vehicle?
The Chief Engineer and colleague watch as the sixth box culvert (of fourteen) is lowered into place at Newmarket Road. This is a week long closure of the road to build the underpass for the Chisholm Trail.
New arrangement of the Histon Road roadworks, with cars northbound only, to the right of the bollards, and cyclists to the left - but without a sign here.

Histon Road is now closed southbound except for cyclists - this is the rather messy arrangement at the southern end.
Histon Road is now closed southbound - most (but not all) of the No Entry signs have Except Cycle signs in place.
Cycleway closed for utility works - coming in to Cambridge it's easy to see a route through the bus stop lay-by, but heading out people just go across the muddy grass.
Traffic flow has been reversed through the Histon Road roadworks. This gap is how cyclists are meant to rejoin the road network.
Traffic calming being installed - it's fairly obvious, but when the signs say Road Closed, they don't include cyclists and pedestrians.
Coldham’s Common ground examination work, marking the start of construction of the Chisholm Trail.
The current state of the long-term roadworks on Histon Road - northbound traffic lane, southbound cycle lane
'Cycleway Suspended' sign due to roadworks and temporary traffic lights - it looks well enough organised here, but there was a queue of cars all around the Waitrose car park where the lights were only letting a few cars out at a time.
Abbey-Chesterton bridge craning into place. At this moment the engineers were waiting for the all-clear from Network Rail to confirm that the bridge could be moved into place as it is quite close to their bridge. I think power to the … [more]
On the plus side they haven't put a 'Cyclists Dismount' sign here, which is to be commended. On the downside, we have lots of signs on the pavement. We need a LTN/change in the law.
Construction at Cambridge University Library - the sign at the other end only refers to pedestrians, not cyclists.
Road Closed for sinkhole repairs - but of course (on Sunday morning) pedestrians and cyclists are actually passing freely.

Work on the Coton path. Shouldn't close the path and clear through the West Cambridge site. It's sewer works. Great job for a hot day!
More lockdown roadworks around the corner on Market Square - but cyclists going straight ahead are supposed to stop too.
Just a brief interruption in fact, where the temporary traffic lights are placed. There are a lot of road works under way during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Gas works on Newnham Road - the Covid-19 lockdown makes this a pretty stressfree time to block the road.
Roadworks blocking the Kingston St contraflow route - lots of cyclists are getting past on the footway by the pub.
BREAKING NEWS: the CBC barrier is coming down! Thanks to John from @CTCCambridge for this picture and to the many people and organisations who have made this happen. Let's continue to work together to create a better, safer and accessible … [more]
