New cycle route will ‘transform’ roads in west London

TfL is moving forward with plans to start construction of a new 7km cycle route in west London later this year.The route, which will link Kensington Olympia, Hammersmith and Brentford town centre, is designed to make walking and cycling safer and easier and the local environment more attractive for residents and visitors.

A 2017 consultation on the route – currently known as Cycle Superhighway 9 – received more than 5,000 responses, with nearly 60% of respondents either supporting or strongly supporting the proposals.
Following comments raised in the consultation, TfL has developed new designs along two sections of the route:

• Kew Bridge/ Kew Bridge Road (High Street Brentford to Wellesley Road)
• Duke Road and Duke’s Avenue on Chiswick High Road
