Southampton's first pop-up cycleway - SCN5

Things have changed a lot in Britain over the past 3 months, and one of the biggest changes is Government attitude towards cycling infrastructure. Thanks to changes in Department for Transport legisltation councils are now able to create "pop-up" cycle lanes virtually overnight.


In Southampton this has allowed the SCN5 route to be extended on-road all the way up to Chilworth Roundabout, creating a safer link to the nearby town of Chandlers Ford, as well as the northern suburbs of Bassett and Glen Eyre. This video provides a virtual ride-along from Chilworth Roundabout to the northern edge of the City Centre.



Thanks to the slight lifting of lockdown restrictions and the recent good weather I'm finally able to start filming again. After a hiatus over winter and delays from the initial coronavirus lockdown, I'll hopefully be able to catch up on everything that's been done over the winter, including:

The new section of SCN5 between Stag Gates and The Common in more detail
SCN3 East
The first section of SCN8 under Swaythling Arch, and
The improvements to SCN1 and the SCN9 bridge around Redbridge Roundabout.


Thanks for watching.
