The cycle route provides a useful connection from Castle Park and Cabot Circus towards the Bristol and Bath Railway path via Redcross St and Bragg’s Lane.
Works on the cobbled section of Castle Park were completed in July 2016. This section previously had an uneven surface, and did not provide enough space for pedestrians.
The area was heavily targeted by bombing in World War 2, and this cobbled section – also called Back Bridge Street – used to have adjacent terraced housing and shops which were cleared following the war. The cobbled street remained, but was no longer suitable for current usage.
We lifted all 14,000 cobbles at this section and had them sawn in half to create a smooth flat surface on one side. The cobbles were re-laid with the smooth side exposed to create a much more even surface for people cycling over it. On the pedestrian side, additional pennant stone was sourced for the footway and used to provide more pedestrian space. It was important to retain the existing heritage materials due to the unique history and character of the area.
