Transport for London (TfL) has secured funding to construct a new cycle crossing on Old Kent Road, essential for the upcoming Cycleway 62, linking Rotherhithe and Peckham. This crossing was originally part of the abandoned Rotherhithe river crossing project but will now proceed as an important biking route. Southwark Council is overseeing most of the project while TfL manages the construction on Old Kent Road, funded indirectly through a government grant. The project aims to enhance cyclist and pedestrian accessibility, with work set to commence shortly and completion expected by November.
The new route, Cycleway 62, aims to connect Rotherhithe and Peckham via a previously planned but cancelled river crossing, ensuring vital cycling infrastructure.
TfL has contracted with Southwark Council, who awarded them £1 million for creating a signal-controlled crossing at Old Kent Road, enhancing both cyclist and pedestrian access.
Despite the cancellation of the Rotherhithe river crossing project, construction of the Cycleway 62 is moving forward, highlighting the commitment to cycling infrastructure.
The project is funded through a government grant, showcasing a complex funding route to create improved local areas and transport links.
