MAJOR work is underway to make the pedestrian and cycle routes around Newquay Railway Station safer.
Cormac is widening the walking and cycle shared use path built along Narrowcliff beginning at the junction of Edgecumbe Avenue to The Barrowfields as part of the Mid Cornwall Metro scheme.
They are due to complete this phase of work at the end of March 2025.
The Mid Cornwall Metro is a £57-million investment to upgrade the current rail links between four of Cornwall’s largest towns — Newquay, St Austell, Truro, and Falmouth and Penryn. The scheme will aim to help residents better connect to employment, education and key services.
Phase two of the scheme, which is currently being designed and will be consulted on early next year, will extend the walking and cycle path along Edgecumbe Avenue to Oakleigh Terrace and provide more crossing points.
