Route development
Sustrans has been on the receiving end of some bad press in Great Yarmouth relating to the poor condition of the area between the railway station and the town centre. Railway Paths Ltd, our sister charity, acquired Vauxhall Bridge, the former railway bridge, as part of a number of railway structures during the years of the National Cycle Network Millennium funding and the bridge has been kept open as a walking and cycling route, but unfortunately the land around the bridge and the bridge itself are in a far from ideal state. Sustrans is keen to support redevelopment of the area, but there is still much to be done.
On a more positive note the works along the seafront in Great Yarmouth have brought about a dramatic improvement in the environment and roadspace has been reallocated to create a segregated path for cyclists, land trains and horse-drawn landaus. It is hoped that this will lead on to major improvements along the coast to allow the National Cycle Network to be completed in this area.
