Corbridge to Hexham

Corbridge to Hexham

Hexham and Bedlington will both receive a share of £14,712,547 in funding to build new, high-quality cycling and pedestrian lanes. It comes as part of the Government's flagship Levelling Up Fund (LUF) which aims to create jobs, boost economic growth and restore people's pride in where they live. The scheme also aims to spread opportunities more equally. An active travel link will be created between Hexham train station and Corbridge, improving local connections and facilitating trips between the two places. The proposed route would largely follow the A695 between the two towns' rail stations to provide better and greener routes to work, transport hubs and tourist attractions. The estimated cost of the Hexham to Corbridge scheme is £8,997,000.
