Cinque Ports Phase 5 Shared Use Foot and Cycleway
We created a safer and direct route for cycling and walking between Nickolls Road and Dymchurch Redoubt.
The scheme runs along the A259, providing a shared use foot and cycleway between Palmarsh and the sea wall south of the Dymchurch Redoubt.
We have:
- converted 1.5km of verge to a hard paved shared use foot and cycleway on the coast side of the A259
- provided street lighting
- installed new signage throughout the route
- relocated existing signposts and street furniture to avoid obstruction to pedestrians and cyclists
- improved crossing facilities at junctions for pedestrians and cyclists.
This scheme continues the work of previous phases to install a virtually all off-road cycle route from Folkestone to Littlestone-on-Sea.
The scheme was funded from the £6.1m Active Travel Fund (Tranche2) provided by Active Travel England.
This project underwent a full consultation process before construction started. Find out more about the consultation.
This project started in November 2021 and was completed in February 2023.
