North East Lincolnshire Council and its regeneration partner, ENGIE, have been awarded £2.2 million of Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) funding to construct a new cycle superhighway from Grimsby to Immingham.
The project is worth a total of £2.6 million, with £400,000 contributed by the council and private sector, and will see 3.8 kilometres of new off-road cycleway constructed to give cyclists a ‘safe and sustainable’ route across the South Humber Bank to access work and training facilities.
When the project is complete, the new cycle links, when combined with existing cycle and walking infrastructure, will provide the “longest continuous off-road cycle link in the borough”.
