Eling to Holbury Cycle Route Improvements

Transforming Cities Fund

Last update: March 2025

Latest Update

People living, working and travelling in the Waterside area can now benefit from improved cycling and walking routes, making local journeys easier and helping people to connect to Southampton. The enhanced cycleways and footpaths between Eling and Holbury connect to and from Southampton, Totton, Marchwood, Hythe and Holbury, also linking to the Southampton City Council Cycle Network "SCN" route 1.

The new links between Eling to Holbury, have been upgraded with new road crossings, widened footpaths and cycle paths, and better signage.

Scheme successfully completed in Autumn 2024.  Please watch the video to see the scheme improvements.

This walking and cycling improvement scheme aligns with the County Council’s new local transport plan (LTP4) that aims to boost economic prosperity, reduce carbon pollution, help promote healthy lifestyles and build stronger communities.
