Two Tunnels Greenway
Template:Future infrastructure
The Two Tunnels Greenway is a proposed shared use path for walking and cycling in Bath, Somerset, England.[1]
Route
The route will follow disused railway trackbed of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway from East Twerton through the Bath suburb of Oldfield Park to the Devonshire Tunnel. It will then emerge into Lyncombe Vale before entering the Combe Down Tunnel, and then coming out to cross Tucking Mill Viaduct into Midford.[2] The new route will link Bath and the National Cycle Route 24, 2.5 miles (4 km) south of the city.
History
NCN24, crossing Midford viaduct, at the south end of the 'Two Tunnels' route, opened in 2005. Sustainable transport charity Sustrans has met with success with its bid for National Lottery funding to start construction of the route.[1] A 'Two Tunnels Steering Group' has been established, consisting of the Two Tunnels group, Bath and North East Somerset Council and Sustrans, to ensure the route's successful development.[3]
Development plans include the installation of artistic lighting and CCTV within the tunnels.[4]
