The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) has applied for a Transport and Work Act Order for the long-awaited new busway, travel hub and path for walkers and cyclists.
The submission for the link between Cambourne and Cambridge follows four rounds of public consultation as well as extensive community and stakeholder engagement since 2015.
GCP says the scheme will connect existing and new communities to the west of Cambridge with the city via the new Bourn Airfield development, Hardwick, Coton and the West Cambridge site.
The new travel hub at Scotland Farm would be accessed from the A428 and enable car drivers to switch to a bus before they travel into the city.
Jo Baker, GCP project manager, said: “This follows many years of consultation and engagement on a project which we believe would give more travel choices, making it quicker, easier and more reliable to get to where people need to go.
“The Department of Transport will look through the application and are highly likely to call for a public enquiry where interested parties will be able to present their views on the submission.”
The DfT will review any objections or representations received and likely call for a public inquiry sometime in 2025.
