SCN6 Portswood Cycle Freeway

Southampton City Council has completed work on Bevois Valley, creating the first stages of the SCN6 cycle route from the city centre to Portswood and Eastleigh.

Improvements along Onslow Road and Bevois Valley Road include:

  • Widened shared use footways and new crossing facilities to enhance access for people walking and cycling
  • Continuous crossings to prioritise people walking and cycling across junctions
  • Upgraded signage
  • Resurfacing
  • New toucan crossings at the junction with Mount Pleasant Road, creating new convenient crossing points for people walking and cycling
  • Changes to the bus stop between Bevois Valley Road Car Park and Ancasta Road, enabling two buses to pull up at raised kerbs and allowing buses to pull out with greater ease
