The A435 Evesham Road was scheduled for major construction work from May to October 2025. The original article helped walkers plan journeys to club meeting points during those works.
What was happening?
The A435 Cycleway Section 2 Phase 2 project was intended to improve connectivity between Cheltenham and Bishop’s Cleeve by creating a shared-use cycleway and footway. The published plans included a full closure between Cheltenham Racecourse roundabout and the Hyde Lane/Southam Lane junction, followed by a northbound closure. Pedestrian and cyclist access was expected to remain open.
